A guide to the efficient and sustainable synthesis of organic compounds

Chemical processes and the synthesis of compounds are essential aspects of numerous industries, and particularly central to the creation of drug-like structures. Their often significant environmental biproducts, however, have driven substantial innovations in the areas of green and organic synthesis, which have the potential to drive efficient, solvent-free synthesis and create more sustainable chemical processes. The use of microwaves and ultrasounds in chemical synthesis has proven an especially fruitful area of research, with the potential to produce a more sustainable industrial future. Green Chemical Synthesis with Microwaves and Ultrasound provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in microwave- and ultrasound-driven synthesis and their cutting-edge applications.

Green Chemical Synthesis with Microwaves and Ultrasound readers will also find:

• Introduction to the key equipment and tools of green chemical synthesis
• Detailed discussion of methods including ultrasound irradiation, metal-catalyzed reactions, enzymatic reactions, and many more
• An authorial team with immense experience in environmentally friendly organic chemical production

Green Chemical Synthesis with Microwaves and Ultrasound is ideal for chemists, organic chemists, chemical engineers, biochemists, and any researchers or industry professionals working on the synthesis of chemicals and/or organic compounds.
