Classical organic synthesis involves the use of non-renewable feedstock, batch reactors and refluxing, all of which are viewed negatively in a world where the drive for reusability and sustainability is the main focus. The aim of this book is to address the issues associated with organic synthesis and show how the area can be made more "green" and to provide new ideas for further innovations in the field of greener syntheses. The topics cover a wide range from starting materials, reaction design, choice of solvent, energy input, to reactor design.
