Green Chemistry: Frontiers in Benign Chemical Syntheses and ProcessesPaul T. Anastas, Tracy C. Williamson This topical volume provides an in-depth profile of the science in this cutting edge area of investigation. Rather than focusing on current techniques, it emphasizes likely future developments in environmentally benign chemical synthesis. Topics include carbon dioxides as alternative solvents, biosynthesis for improved industrial processes and products, alkynes and atom economical reactions, supercritical CO₂ assisted aerosolization for thin film deposition, fine powder generation and drug delivery, the design of green oxidants, indium-promoted carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions in water, and synthesis of pharmaceutical building blocks. With its up-to-date accounts of a wide range of topics, this book will be an important resource for academic researchers, industrial chemists, and anyone interested in environmental policy. |
