This book translates the 12 principles
of green chemistry into 39 practical experiments focused on safer synthesis,
waste minimization, greener solvents and catalysts, energy efficiency, and
resource conservation. It stresses that modern laboratory chemistry is defined
not merely by what can be synthesized, but by how safely, efficiently, and sustainably
each process is designed and performed.
By integrating green chemistry metrics,
reaction mechanisms, characterization, real-world applications, and comparative
evaluations of conventional and greener methods, the book connects fundamental
chemical concepts with the principles of green chemistry in contemporary
laboratory practice. Pre- and post-laboratory questions reinforce conceptual
understanding, analytical thinking, and experimental skills, while
demonstrating how
greener approaches can enhance
efficiency, safety, and waste prevention.
Aligned with the NEP framework and
UGC-affiliated curricula, the book is intended for BSc, BSc (Hons), and MSc students,
educators, researchers, and chemistry professionals across green, organic,
pharmaceutical, industrial, analytical, and medicinal chemistry. It offers a
rigorous and practice-oriented foundation for advancing safer chemical
processes, resource-efficient laboratory methods, and sustainable chemical
innovation.
