Abstract
Organic synthesis is a cornerstone field in chemistry to aid in drug development, agrochemistry, polymer, material and industry useful chemical products; nevertheless conventional synthetic pathways frequently rely on dangerous chemical reagents, toxic solvents, highly energy dependent reaction circumstances, inefficient strategies which create large amounts of chemical waste raising major environmental, economic and safety concerns limiting the feasibility of long term sustainable chemical processes; consequently growing needs to produce materials environmentally friendly initiated development of principles of green chemistry for designed new chemical processes to reduce the waste amount, usage of toxic reagents, improve the overall mass intensity as well as explore alternative cleaner approaches without diminishing chemical yields; This conceptual paper reports the strategies to achieve environment friendly synthetic approach on new pathways to organic compounds by combination of several advanced concepts as: catalytic processes, biomass derived feedstocks, solvent free synthesis, biocatalysis, microwave assisted synthesis, ultrasound mediated reactions and continuous flow chemistry; In proposed method it will be evaluated according to efficiency on the basis of sustainability parameters as atom economy, mass intensity of the reaction, decrease of consumed energy, catalyst recyclability, low toxicity, exploitation of raw materials which are coming from sources of nature such as biomass etc.; Also environmentally favorable media like water, ion fluids, deep eutectic solvents should be chosen over common organic media to mitigate chemical contamination and health hazards; Cooperation between catalytic chemistry and new reactions methods will offer benefits like higher selectivity, decrease of side products, operational costs reduction, scale up to large industrial applications and application of modern simulation methods would improve a predictable capability as to find reaction condition to provide higher efficiencies and green conditions; The benefits to be offered to use of this scheme of concept is to shift conventional production from traditional towards more sustainable way of conducting organic chemistry, aiming an optimal balance between efficiency, environment, profit and industrial feasibility ultimately contribute to the development of future
