BOOK DESCRIPTION
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Recent years have seen huge growth in the area of sustainable chemistry. In order to meet the chemical needs of the global population whilst minimising impacts on health and the environment it is essential to keep reconsidering and improving synthetic processes.

Sustainable Organic Synthesis is a comprehensive collection of contributions, provided by specialists in Green Chemistry, covering topics ranging from catalytic approaches to benign and alternative reaction media, and innovative and more efficient technologies.

Assessing the Sustainability of Syntheses of the Anti-tuberculosis Pharmaceutical Pretomanid by Green Metrics; Homogeneous Catalysis; Heterogeneous Catalysis; Biocatalysis, an Introduction. Exploiting Enzymes as Green Catalysts in the Synthesis of Chemicals and Drugs; Activation of Chemical Substrates Under Sustainable Conditions: Electrochemistry and Electrocatalysis; Colored Compounds for Eco-sustainable Visibile-light Promoted Syntheses; Activation of Chemical Substrates Under Sustainable Conditions: Mechanochemistry; Sustainable Activation of Chemical Substrates Under Sonochemical Conditions; Biomass-derived Solvents; Supercritical Solvents; Challenges of Using Fluorous Solvents for Greener Organic Synthesis; Ionic Liquids and Deep Eutectic Solvents; Environmentally Benign Media: Water, AOS, and Water/Organic Solvent Azeotropic Mixtures; Solvent-free Conditions; Biomass-derived Platform Chemicals; Sustainable Tools for Flow Chemistry; Step Economy; Microwave Irradiation; Process Intensification: From Green Chemistry to Continuous Processing; The Contribution of Green Chemistry to Industrial Organic Synthesis
