A Review on: Green Chemistry Influences in Organic Synthesis

Abstract

Green chemistry has emerged as a transformative approach in modern chemical research, aiming to minimize environmental impact while enhancing the efficiency of chemical processes. In organic synthesis, the adoption of green chemistry principles has significantly influenced the development of safer, sustainable, and economically viable methodologies. This review highlights the integration of eco-friendly strategies such as the use of renewable feedstocks, benign solvents, and non-toxic catalysts in synthetic pathways. Special emphasis is placed on innovative techniques including microwave-assisted synthesis, solvent-free reactions, and biocatalysis, which reduce energy consumption and waste generation. Furthermore, the role of green reagents and alternative reaction media, such as ionic liquids and water, is discussed in improving reaction selectivity and yield.
