the principles of green chemistry aim to improve the sustainability of chemical processes and reduce the generation of hazardous substances. there has been great growth in the field over the past few years and the number of research groups working in this area is still increasing. now one of the biggest challenges is to embed the green chemistry ideals of safety and sustainability as standard, both in industry and academia. in order to do this, it is important to create resources that detail different applications and approaches. green synthetic processes and procedures brings together expert contributors from across a number of areas of green synthesis to cover a diverse array of subjects. providing a thorough overview of the current green synthetic toolbox, from biocatalysis to sonochemistry, this book is a useful resource for any chemist wishing to design cleaner and safer processes.
