ABSTRACT
Green Chemistry, the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances is an overarching approach that is applicable to all aspects of chemistry. All synthetic processes involve the use of different solvents. Unfortunately many of the solvents are used in industry and retail are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which lead to environmental damage, through pollution, risks to human health and to resource depletion, we need to develop and apply more environmentally friendly approaches. So, all traditional and old synthetic routes obviously give adverse effects to the mankind and all living beings. Green chemistry provides “Green” paths for different synthetic routes using non-hazardous solvents and environmental- friendly chemicals. Solvent free synthesis has several advantages over the classical method of synthesis. Due to enormous advantages of solvent free reactions, new solvent-free approaches are being discovered for eco-friendly synthesis of many compounds.
