Principles of Green Chemistry
Prevent waste.
Design safer chemicals and products.
Design less hazardous chemical syntheses.
Use renewable feed stocks.
Use catalysts, not stoichiometric reagents: Catalysts are used in small amounts
and can carry out a single reaction many times. They are preferable to stoichiometric
reagents, which are used in excess and work only once.
Avoid chemical derivatives: Avoid using blocking or protecting groups or any
temporary modifications if possible. generate waste.
Maximize atom economy.
Use safer solvents and reaction conditions
Increase energy efficiency.
Design chemicals and products to degrade after use.
Analyze in real time to prevent pollution.
Minimize the potential for accidents.

Added benefit: The acetic acid produced in the 2nd reaction can
be recovered and used again for the 1st reaction, leaving no
unwanted by-product. 2009

Green Chemistry:
Preventing Pollution
Sustaining the Earth
Green chemistry has come a long way since its birth in 1991,
growing from a small grassroots idea into a new approach to
scientifically-based environmental protection
All over the world, governments and industries are working
with “green” chemists to transform the economy into a
sustainable enterprise
Who knows? Green chemistry may be the next social
movement that will set aside all the world’s differences and
allow for the creation of an environmentally commendable
civilization
