Green Chemistry : Environmentally Benign Reactions

Contents: Preface. Foreword. 1. Green chemistry. 2. Green reactions. 3. Green preparation. Index.

"This book is written especially for researchers at various levels e.g. in industry, R&D Laboratories, University and College laboratories etc. It describes a large number of organic reactions (Which were earlier performed using anhydrous conditions and volatile organic solvents) under green conditions. The conditions used are aqueous phase, using PTC catalyst, sonication and microwave technologies. Some reaction carried out enzymatically, in photochemically, solid state and using ionic liquid have also been described. A large number of preparations using above techniques have been incorporated." (jacket)
