Reaction Mechanism Choice Using Green Chemistry Principles

Authors : Mehdi Louaer . Nawel Outili .

Abstract

Essential industrial processes may threaten the environment despite the restrictions on the standards of rejections. Preserving a safe environment remains a major concern. Industry must look for new technologies, known as “clean” to reduce the environmental impact of their production activities and the consumption of energy and raw materials; This would require following an ecological and durable chemistry known as green chemistry. The objective of this present work is an initiation with the application of the principles of green chemistry through the calculation of various parameters, namely: carbon efficiency, atom economy, environmental factor,reaction mass efficiency, material recovery parameter, etc.The work shows the importance of green chemistry principles in searching for a more “clean” reaction way for a given synthesis or production. Indeed, between substitution and addition reaction mechanisms to synthesize tertiobutyl chloride, the results show that the second one proves to be more respectful towards the principles of green chemistry.
