Green chemistry and Microwave synthesis

Green chemistry is a method of designing, manufacturing, and using chemical compounds that actively reduces or eliminates chemical risks. It focuses on reducing, reusing, and eliminating the use of harmful and hazardous chemicals in manufacturing processes by identifying creative, alternate ways for producing the required products that have the least impact on the environment. Sustainable economic growth necessitates the use of safe, long-term resources for industrial output. This article provides an overview of the fundamental tenets upon which the Green Chemistry idea is founded. In traditional heating methods, an oil bath or hot plate is used to provide heat to a chemical process. In chemical synthesis, microwave irradiation is commonly utilized as a source of heating. Dipolar polarization and conduction are the fundamental processes seen in microwave-mediated synthesis. Microwave-assisted synthesis provides clean synthesis with the benefits of increased reaction rates, higher yields, greater selectivity, and lower costs for the synthesis of a large number of organic molecules, which has prompted many chemists to switch from conventional heating methods to microwave-assisted chemistry
