Green chemistry is a new way of looking at organic synthesis and the design of
drug molecules, offering important environmental and economic advantages over
traditional synthetic processes. Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly
turning to the principles of green chemistry in an effort to reduce waste,
reduce costs and develop environmentally benign processes."Green Techniques for
Organic Synthesis and Medicinal Chemistry" presents an overview of the
established and emerging techniques in green organic chemistry, highlighting
their applications in medicinal chemistry. The book is divided into four parts:
Introduction: Introduces the reader to the toxicology of organic chemicals,
their environmental impact, and the concept of green chemistry.
Green Catalysis Covers a variety
