Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the field of organic synthesis has witnessed a remarkable transformation driven by the urgent need for sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. As a response to the growing concerns over the environmental impact of traditional chemical processes, the scientific community has been increasingly exploring innovative and green technologies for the synthesis of organic compounds. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and experts to showcase their latest advancements, strategies, and insights into the realm of sustainable organic synthesis.
The "Green Technologies for Synthesis of Organic Compounds" Special Issue welcomes contributions that encompass a wide spectrum of topics related to ecofriendly organic synthesis. We encourage submissions that focus on the development and application of novel methodologies, catalysts, and processes aiming to reduce waste, energy consumption, and the use of hazardous reagents. Manuscripts addressing the synthesis of valuable organic compounds for various applications, such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, materials, and renewable energy, within a green and sustainable framework, are particularly encouraged.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Catalysis for Green Synthesis: Innovative catalytic processes, including heterogeneous, homogeneous, and enzymatic catalysis, for sustainable organic transformations.
- Solvent-Free and Solvent-Reduced Synthesis: Strategies for minimizing or eliminating the use of traditional solvents in organic reactions.
- Biocatalysis and Enzyme Engineering: Utilizing biocatalysts and enzyme engineering for green synthesis pathways.
- Renewable Feedstocks: The use of renewable and bio-based starting materials for organic compound synthesis.
- Flow Chemistry: Continuous flow reactors and microreactors for efficient and sustainable synthesis.
- Green Nanomaterials: The role of green nanomaterials and nanocatalysts in organic synthesis.
- Waste Reduction and Valorization: Methods for reducing waste generation and strategies for the valorization of byproducts.
- Sustainable Synthesis of Pharmaceuticals: Approaches to greener pharmaceutical synthesis, including reducing the environmental impact in drug manufacturing.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, and communications that contribute to the advancement of green technologies in organic synthesis. We encourage interdisciplinary research that combines principles of chemistry, engineering, and environmental science to address the challenges and opportunities in sustainable organic synthesis.
Join us in this endeavor to promote and disseminate ecofriendly practices in the field of organic synthesis, as we work towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.
