Note(s) : This book is devoted to the preparation of fine chemicals by new emerging approaches
in the field of eco-friendly processes and procedures, The 20th century has seen a
phenomenal growth in the global economy and continuous improvement in the standard
of living in the industrialized countries. Sustainable development has become an ideal
target in recent years and in the early 1990s the concept of "Green chemistry" was
launched in the USA as a new paradigm, and since 1993 it has been promoted by the
National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
success of the pharmaceutical industry is, in large part, due to the towering achievement
of organic chemistry, a mature science which emerged as a distinct discipline well
over 150 years ago, however this has been both a blessing and a curse. Many of our
most reliable strategies for assembling target molecules employ reactions which are
fifty to one hundred years old and are often named in honour of their discoverers.
During these early years, the chronic toxicological properties of chemicals were often
completely unknown and many unwittingly became indispensable tools of the trade. Early
pioneers in green chemistry included Trost (who developed the atom economy principle)
and Sheldon (who developed the E-Factor). These measures were introduced to encourage
the use of more sustainable chemistry and provide some benchmarking data to encourage
scientists to aspire to more benign synthesis. Green chemistry is essentially the
design of chemical processes and procedures that reduce or eliminate the use, or the
generation, of hazardous substances. Green chemistry is a growing area of research
and an increasing number of researchers are now involved in this field. The number
of publications has dramatically increased and new recognition of advances made is
necessary with respect to other res++. - earch areas. The synthesis of "Fine Chemicals" represents one of the main goals
in organic synthesis and this new book extensively examines the main processes and
procedures for their preparation under eco-friendly conditions. The book is a collection
of selected research topics delivered by scientists involved in some of the more prominent
fields of green chemistry. It is devoted to the synthesis of fine chemicals by the
use of alternative eco-friendly solvents (ionic liquids, polyethylene glycol, water,
etc.) , supported organic catalysis, microwave irradiation or high pressure as contributors
to more efficient processes, photochemistry as a green procedure and solvent-free
processes. Each chapter gives an introduction to the various methods or procedures
and their contribution to green chemistry and a variety of the most representative
examples of the eco-friendly synthesis of fine chemicals are reported and discussed.
In addition, there is a chapter dedicated to the application of simple reaction to
the synthesis of complex molecules.The chapters are all written by authors who are
experts in their field and are exhaustively referenced and the book will be invaluable
for researchers and industrialists as well as academia
