ABSTRACT

Green chemistry which is the latest and one of the most researched topics now a days. It has been in demand since 1990’s. majority of research in green chemistry aims to reduce the energy consumption required for the production of desired product whether it may be any drug, dyes and other chemical compounds. It aims to reduce or even eliminates the production of any harmful biproducts and maximizing the desired product without compromising with the environment. The three key developments in green chemistry includes use of super critical carbon dioxide as green solvent, aqueous hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent and use of hydrogen in asymmetric synthesis. It also focuses on replacing traditional methods of heating with that of modern methods of heating like microwave radiations so that carbon footprint should be reduces as low as possible. Various experiments are performed in laboratory by replacing the conventional chemical with the green /eco-friendly chemical and the best results are shown by the eco-friendly chemicals/materials.
