Green Chemistry: A Boon to Pharmaceutical Synthesis

Dr. Savita J. Tauro, Jineetkumar B. Gawad

Abstract :

Green chemistry is an extension of synthetic chemistry comprising of an attempt to reduce the generation of hazardous substances. The vital role of green chemistry is in controlling harm to the environment in the way of chemical waste. Thus it prevents wastes, stochiometric reagents, design less hazardous chemical synthesis, use catalyst, maximize atom economy and minimize the potential for accidents. This includes lesser consumption of resources and develop alternative and more sustainable synthetic pathway. This includes methods like microwave synthesis, catalytic reactions, sonochemistry, combinatorial chemistry, solvent free reaction, photo catalysis, multicomponent reactions, water as a solvent, etc. Green chemistry is rapidly developing new field that provides us a proactive avenue for the sustainable development of future science and technologies.
