Integration of Fundamental Organic Chemistry with Green Chemistry

Book excerpt: Provides an approach to design an efficient, sustainable and green lab manual. It comprises fundamental concepts of chemistry and how they are applied to green chemistry. The book illustrates that the greener approach eliminates toxic, hazardous and unsafe chemicals with safe, less toxic and environmentally-friendly compounds with an emphasis on laboratory safety. It provides an effort to enhance the academic goals in the area of chemical education. Students face difficulties in understanding and explaining theoretical concepts while performing organic experiments in the laboratory. This book is infused with theory and experiments on the same platform. It is expected that this book will bridge the gap between classroom teaching and laboratory training.
