Abstract

Chemical transformations frequently involve time-consuming processes that can occasionally be achivied by employing different techniques and media. New methods allow us to explore new reaction profiles while saving time and solvents. As a result, new solvent classes for processing chemicals have been introduced. Supercritical fluids, fluorous solvents, and solvents made from biomass, in addition to ionic liquids and the closely related deep eutectic solvents, have all attracted significant interest. From the perspective of green chemistry, sonochemistry, microwave, mechanochemistry, and catalysis are crucial strategies to enhance organic synthesis since they can encourage better yields and selectivities in addition to quicker reaction times than traditional procedures. This feature article describes the progress made in creating appealing sustainable approaches to synthetic organic chemistry and includes a recent survey of novel solvents and techniques used in a range of organic processes.
