Green Organic Processes

GREEN CHEMISTRY

DEFINITIONGreen Chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products .

GREEN CHEMISTRY IS ABOUT

• Waste Minimisation at Source

• Use of Catalysts in place of Reagents

• Using Non-Toxic Reagents

• Use of Renewable Resources

• Improved Atom Efficiency

• Use of Solvent Free or Recyclable Environmentally Benign Solvent systems

1. PreventionIt is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been created.

2. Atom EconomySynthetic methods should be designed to maximise the incorporation of all materialsused in the process into the final product.

3. Less Hazardous Chemical SynthesisWherever practicable, synthetic methods should be designed to use and generatesubstances that possess little or no toxicity to people or the environment.

4. Designing Safer ChemicalsChemical products should be designed to effect their desired function while minimisingtheir toxicity.

5. Safer Solvents and AuxiliariesThe use of auxiliary substances (e.g., solvents or separation agents) should be madeunnecessary whenever possible and innocuous when used.

6. Design for Energy EfficiencyEnergy requirements of chemical processes should be recognised for their environmentaland economic impacts and should be minimised. If possible, synthetic methods should beconducted at ambient temperature and pressure.

The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry (1-6)

7 Use of Renewable FeedstocksA raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather than depleting whenever technically and

economically practicable.

8 Reduce DerivativesUnnecessary derivatization (use of blocking groups, protection/de-protection, and temporary modification of

physical/chemical processes) should be minimised or avoided if possible, because such steps require

additional reagents and can generate waste.

9 CatalysisCatalytic reagents (as selective as possible) are superior to stoichiometric reagents.

10 Design for DegradationChemical products should be designed so that at the end of their function they break down into innocuous

degradation products and do not persist in the environment.

11 Real-time Analysis for Pollution PreventionAnalytical methodologies need to be further developed to allow for real-time, in-process monitoring and

control prior to the formation of hazardous substances.

12 Inherently Safer Chemistry for Accident PreventionSubstances and the form of a substance used in a chemical process should be chosen to minimise the

potential for chemical accidents, including releases, explosions, and fires.

General Considerations for Process Chemistry

• Avoid column chromatography

• Seeding helps crystallization

• Avoid desiccants, use azeotrope

• Avoid solvents with flash point < 15 ºC

• Ether, hexanes, DCM

• Temperature range -40 to 120 ºC

• Avoid protecting groups

• Impurities of > 0.1% must be analyzed

methodologies should be designed to use

and generate substances that possess little

or no toxicity to human health and the

environment.

Designing Safer Chemicals

Chemical products should be designed to

preserve efficacy of the function while

reducing toxicity.

Designing Safer Chemicals:

Case Study: Antifoulants

Antifoulants are generally dispersed in the paint as it is

applied to the hull. Organotin compounds have traditionally

been used, particularly tributyltin oxide (TBTO). TBTO

works by gradually leaching from the hull killing the

fouling organisms in the surrounding area

TBTO and other organotin antifoulants have long half-lives

in the environment (half-life of TBTO in seawater is > 6

months). They also bioconcentrate in marine organisms (the

concentration of TBTO in marine organisms to be 104 times

greater than in the surrounding water).

Organotin compounds are chronically toxic to marine life

and can enter food chain. They are bioaccumulative.

Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award, 1996

The active ingredient in Sea-Nine® 211, 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-

isothiazolin-3-one (DCOI), is a member of the isothiazolone family

of antifoulants.

5. Safer Solvents and

Auxiliaries

The use of auxiliary substances (solvents,

separation agents, etc.) should be made

unnecessary whenever possible and, when

used, innocuous.

Safer Solvents

• Solvent Substitution

• Water as a solvent

• New solvents

– Ionic liquids

Solvent replacement table



Pfizer’s results

Use of Solvent Replacement Guide resulted in:

• 50% reduction in chlorinated solvent use across the whole

of their research division (more than 1600 lab based

synthetic organic chemists, and four scale-up facilities)

during 2004-2006.

• Reduction in the use of an undesirable ether by 97% over

the same two year period

• Heptane used over hexane (more toxic) and pentane (much

more flammable)



Safer solvents: Supercritical fluids

A SCF is defined as a substance above its critical temperature (TC) and critical pressure (PC). The critical

point represents the highest temperature and pressure at which the substance can exist as a vapor and

liquid in equilibrium.

7. Use of Renewable Feedstocks

A raw material or feedstock should be

renewable rather than depleting whenever

technically and economically practical.

Petroleum Products [Hydrocarbons]

Biomaterials [Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids]

Highly Functionalized Molecules

Singly Functionalized Compounds [Olefins, Alkylchlorides]

8. Reduce Derivatives

Unnecessary derivatization (blocking

group, protection/deprotection, temporary

modification of physical/chemical

processes) should be avoided whenever

possible.

Protecting Groups

2 synthetic steps are added each time one

is used

Overall yield and atom economy will

decrease

“Protecting groups are used because

there is no direct way to solve the

problem without them.”

9. Catalysis

Catalytic reagents (as selective as

possible) are superior to stoichiometric

reagents.

Heterogeneous vs Homogenous

• Distinct solid phase

• Readily separated

• Readily regenerated & recycled

• Rates not as fast

• Diffusion limited

• Sensitive to poisons

• Lower selectivity

• Long service life

• High energy process

• Poor mechanistic understanding

• Same phase as rxn medium

• Difficult to separate

• Expensive and/or difficult to

separate

• Very high rates

• Not diffusion controlled

• Robust to poisons

• High selectivity

• Short service life

• Mild conditions

10. Design for Degradation

Chemical products should be

designed so that at the end of

their function they do not persist

in the environment and instead

break down into innocuous

degradation products.

Persistence• Early examples:

• Sulfonated detergents

– Alkylbenzene sulfonates – 1950’s & 60’s

– Foam in sewage plants, rivers and streams

– Persistence was due to long alkyl chain

– Introduction of alkene group into the chain increased

degradation

• Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

– Do not break down, persist in atmosphere and

contribute to destruction of ozone layer

• DDT

– Bioaccumulate and cause thinning of egg shells

Degradation of Polymers:Polylactic Acid

Manufactured from renewable resources

Corn or wheat; agricultural waste in

future

Uses 20-50% fewer fossil fuels than

conventional plastics

PLA products can be recycled or

composted

Cargill Dow

12. Inherently Safer Chemistry for

Accident Prevention

Substance and the form of a substance

used in a chemical process should be

chosen so as to minimize the potential for

chemical accidents, including releases,

explosions, and fires. : Avoid Phosgene

Cyanide

Design Safer Chemicals

• Water-based acrylic alkyd paints with low VOCs that can be

made from recycled soda bottle plastic (PET), acrylics, and

soybean oil. In 2010, Sherwin-Williams manufactured

enough of these new paints to eliminate over 800,000

pounds of VOCs.

• Foam cushioning are conventionally manufactured from

petroleum products. Cargill’s BiOH™ polyols are

manufactured from renewable, biological sources such as

vegetable oils. Each million pounds of BiOH™ polyols

saves nearly 700,000 pounds of crude oil. Cargill’s process

reduces total energy use by 23 percent and carbon dioxide

emissions by 36 percent.

• Use of 1 kg of phosgene produces 1.17 kg of waste salt(GC 1999, 1, 237)

• World wide production capacity of polycarbonate is 1.5 million tons per year (2003-2004)

Resort to non-phosgene routes !!

chemistry into general chemistry

Solubility of Substances in CO2

• Carbon dioxide a non polar molecule since the dipoles of the two bonds cancel one another.

• Carbon dioxide will dissolve smaller non polar molecules – hydrocarbons having less than 20 carbon atoms– other organic molecules such as aldehydes, esters, and

ketones

• But it will not dissolve larger molecules such as oils, waxes, grease, polymers, and proteins, or polar molecules.

An highly efficient PS-Pd-NHC catalytic system has been

developed for chemoselective conjugate reduction of α,β-

unsaturated carbonyl compounds providing good to excellent

conversion with remarkable chemoselectivity (up to 100%). The

developed protocol is more advantageous due to use of

HCOONa as hydrogen source, environmentally

benign water assolvent and effective catalyst recyclability.

Shape selectivity using ionic liquids for the preparation of

silver

and silver sulphide nanomaterials

Amol B. Patil and

Bhalchandra.M.

Bhanage

Electrodeposition of silver and silver sulphide was carried out from

two protic ionic liquids. A change of the anion moiety of ionic liquid

was found to bring about significant changes in the morphology of the

nanocrystalline silver and silver sulphide deposits obtained. Effects of

various parameters like deposition overpotential, change of the

substrate, deposition time, etc. on the particle size and shape were

studied. It was found that a change of anions of the ionic liquid from

acetate to nitrate results in a wide difference in the morphology of the

deposits obtained. Acetate containing ionic liquids result in globular

nanocrystalline deposits whereas nitrate containing ionic liquids result

in flat plates or sheets of silver deposits. Similar results were obtained

for silver sulphide nanocrystals.

dihaloarenes with amines providing excellent yield of N-substituted

phthalimides in shorter reaction time as compared to earlier reported

homogeneous protocols. Furthermore, the scope of the developed

protocol was applied for the synthesis N-substituted phthalimides

fromo-halobenzoates and o-halobenzoic acid via a single step

carbonylative cyclization reaction. The developed methodology

describes an efficient one-step approach for the synthesis of an

important class of heterocycles and tolerates a wide variety of

functional groups. It circumvents the use of phosphine ligands with an

additional advantage of catalyst recyclability for up to eight

consecutive cycles.

Kulamani Parida,


A simple covalently linked amine functionalized MCM-41 were

investigated as a highly efficient, heterogeneous and recyclable

mesoporous catalytic protocol for the synthesis of a wide variety of

quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones derivatives from 2-aminobenzonitriles and

carbon dioxide in aqueous reaction medium. This catalytic system

represents a heterogeneous and environmentally benign protocol. The

effect of various reaction parameters, such as influences of solvent,

temperature, CO2 pressure and time for the synthesis of quinazoline-

2,4(1H,3H)-diones were studied. The developed protocol can be applicable

for the synthesis of most important key intermediate 6,7-

dimethoxyquinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione and several biologically active

derivatives such as Prazosin, Bunazosin and Doxazosin. Besides this, the

developed catalyst could be reused for five consecutive recycles without

any significant loss in its catalytic activity.

G. D. Yadav, R.V. Sharma

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) will be a major feedstock derived from

waste/fresh biomass, which could be converted into a variety of valuable

chemicals. The present work deals with an efficient, robust,

environmentally benign and selective catalyst for preparation of 2,5-

diformylfuran (DFF) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). It was

investigated that impregnation of silver in K-OMS-2 (octahedral molecular

sieve) improved the activity of the catalyst by decreasing concentration of

acidic sites and increasing basic sites which was confirmed by NH3 and

CO2-TPD results.

in aqueous medium. The catalysts were prepared by a co-

precipitation method and well characterized by various

techniques such as XRD, FT-IR, SEM and the basicity was

found using the phenol adsorption method. The reusability of

the catalyst, use of water as a green solvent and easy isolation of

the product along with good yields make the present protocol

sustainable and advantageous compared to conventional

methods.

The catalytic activity of the MFe2O4 spinel (M = Mn, Co, Cu, Ni,

Zn) was investigated for the oxidation of benzylic alcohols to

respective carbonyls using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as

an oxidant. The combination of CoFe2O4/TBHP in a dimethyl

sulfoxide (DMSO) catalytic system was found to be most

efficient for this catalytic conversion. A CoFe2O4 catalyst is

magnetically separable and could be reused with no considerable

loss in catalytic activity as proved for 5 consecutive cycles.
