Green chemistry has evolved from a catalyst for change in the chemical and allied industries to an essential component of chemical education at all levels. The future chemist must be able to practice their trade in the context of growing concerns regarding waste and resources, the safety of chemicals in consumer products, and increasingly stringent legislation. While there are numerous educational resources available, including lectures, experiments, and books on green chemistry and major green chemical technologies, there is no equivalent "green" version of a standard organic chemistry textbook. This book supplements and supports standard organic chemistry texts by systematically covering a variety of well-known reactions commonly featured in such textbooks. It highlights the primary sustainability issues of classical and contemporary organic transformations and critically evaluates them within a metric of established green chemistry principles, identifying areas where further efforts are needed to enhance their environmental footprint. Written by a team of expert authors with a multinational advisory board, this book is an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students worldwide.
