Question

I am doing a green project for chemistry and I have to propose four reactions that I would like to "green" and then propose a change (catalysis, solvent or reagent) of how I plan to do so. Can someone please help me come up with some reactions?

Answer 1

Green chemistry is regenerate a process that is not harm our enviorment and utilise our natural resources and especially the means of livelihood for future generations.Green chemistry is needed in area like-

1. Waste prevention instead of remediation
2. Atom economy or efficiency
3. Use of less hazardous and toxic chemicals
4. Safer products by design
5. Innocuous solvents and auxiliaries
6. Energy efficiency by design
7. Preferred use of renewable raw materials
8. Shorter syntheses (avoid derivatization)
9. Catalytic rather than stoichiometric reagents
10. Design products to undergo degradation in the environment
11. Analytical methodologies for pollution prevention
12. Inherently safer processes.                                                                                             for example -in production of 1 kg of phloroglucinol from TNT produced 40 kg of waste material when .other example is-
13. PhC(OH)CH3+2CrO3 + 3H2SO4 ----> PhC(O)CH3 +Cr2(SO4)3 + 6H2O
