Synopsis

Edited by Professor CJ Li, one of the leading international experts in the fields of Green Chemistry and Green Synthesis, this volume presents such hot topics as synthesis without protecting groups, multi-component reactions, and synthesis in green solvents.

The Handbook of Green Chemistry comprises of 9 volumes in total, split into 3 subject-specific sets. The three sets are available individually. All 9 volumes are available individually, too.

Set I: Green Catalysis 
  - Volume 1: Homogeneous Catalysis 
  - Volume 2: Heterogeneous Catalysis 
  - Volume 3: Biocatalysis

Set II: Green Solvents
  - Volume 4: Supercritical Solvents
  - Volume 5: Reactions in Water
  - Volume 6: Ionic Liquids

Set III: Green Processes
  - Volume 7: Green Synthesis
  - Volume 8: Green Nanoscience
  - Volume 9: Designing Safer Chemicals

The Handbook of Green Chemistry is also available as Online Edition.

About this title

About the Author

Paul T. Anastas joined Yale University as Professor and iserves as the Director of the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale. From 2004-2006, Paul Anastas has been the Director of the Green Chemistry Institute in Washington, D.C. Until June of 2004 he served as Assistant Director for Environment at e White House Office of Science and Technology Policy where his responsibilities included a wide range of environmental science issues including furthering international public-private cooperation in areas of Science for Sustainability such as Green Chemistry. In 1991, he established the industry-government-university partnership Green Chemistry Program, which was expanded to include basic research, and the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards. He has published and edited several books in the field of Green Chemistry and developed the 12 principles of Green Chemistry.

From the Back Cover

Green Chemistry is a vitally important subject area in a world where being as green and environmentally sound as possible is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Its applications include the design of chemical products and processes that help to reduce or eliminate the use of generation of hazardous substances.

The Handbook of Green Chemistry comprises 12 volumes, split into subject-specific sets as follows:

Set I: Green Catalysis

Set II: Green Solvents

Set III: Green Processes

• Volume 7: Green Synthesis
• Volume 8: Green Nanoscience
• Volume 9: Designing Safer Chemicals

Set IV: Green Products

Classical organic synthesis involves the use of non-renewable feedstock, batch reactors and refluxing, all of which are viewed negatively in a world where the drive for reusability and sustainability is the main focus. The aim of this book is to address the issues associated with organic synthesis and show how the area can be made more "green" and to provide new ideas for further innovations in the field of greener syntheses. The topics cover a wide range from starting materials, reaction design, choice of solvent, energy input, to reactor design.
