Yield is not enough !!!

• Yield = % of maximum possible quantity of
product
• But !!!
• Ignores auxiliaries (reagents, catalysts, solvents,
etc)
• Ignores work-up, purification
• Ignores energy used, hazards involved, toxic
chemicals

Conversion - Yield - Selectivity 18

Chapter 1: Green chemistry

~ 100%: quantitative, > 90%: excellent, > 80%: very good,

> 70%: good, > 50%: fair, và < 40%: poor 19

What is green chemistry?

• The design of chemical products & processes
that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of
hazardous substances

• Discovery & application of new chemistry /

technology leading to prevention / reduction of
environmental, health & safety impacts at source

Chapter 1: 12 principles of green chemistry

1. Prevent waste: Design chemical syntheses to

prevent waste, leaving no waste to treat or
clean up

25
Chapter 1: 12 principles of green chemistry
2. Design safer chemicals and products: design
chemical products to be fully effective, yet have little
or no toxicity (Sản phẩm hóa học được thiết kế, tính toán
sao cho có thể đáp ứng tất cả tiêu chuẩn/chức năng và
giảm thiểu được tính độc hại)

3. Design less hazardous chemical syntheses: Design

syntheses to use and generate substances with little
or no toxicity to humans and the environment (Các
phương pháp tổng hợp được thiết kế nhằm sử dụng và tái
sinh các chất ít hoặc không gây nguy hại tới sức khỏe con
người và môi trường)

26
Chapter 1: 12 principles of green chemistry
4. Use renewable feedstocks:
Use raw materials and
feedstocks that are
renewable rather than
depleting. Renewable
feedstocks are often made
from agricultural products or
are the wastes of other
processes; depleting
feedstocks are made from
fossil fuels (petroleum,
natural gas, or coal) or are
mined
Chapter 1: 12 principles of green chemistry
5.Use catalysts, not
stoichiometric
reagents: Minimize
waste by using
catalytic reactions.
Catalysts are used in
small amounts and can
carry out a single
reaction many times.
They are preferable to
stoichiometric
reagents, which are
used in excess and 28
work only once
Chapter 1: 12 principles of green chemistry

6. Avoid chemical derivatives

(Giảm thiểu các sản phẩm trung
gian): Avoid using blocking or
protecting groups or any
temporary modifications if
possible (Hạn chế sử dụng các
phương pháp khóa/bảo vệ nhóm
chức hay các giai đoạn trung
gian)

29
Chapter 1: 12 principles of green chemistry
7. Maximize atom economy (tối đa hóa chỉ số hữu hiệu
nguyên tử): Design syntheses so that the final product
contains the maximum proportion of the starting
materials (Sản phẩm cuối cùng chứa tỷ lệ tối đa các nguyên
liệu tham gia).

30
Chapter 1: 12 principles of green chemistry

8. Use safer solvents

and reaction
conditions: Avoid
using solvents,
separation agents, or
other auxiliary
chemicals. If these
chemicals are
necessary, use
innocuous
chemicals
31
Chapter 1: 12 principles of green chemistry

9. Increase energy efficiency (sử

dụng hiệu quả năng lượng): Run
chemical reactions at ambient
temperature and pressure
whenever possible (Các phương
pháp tổng hợp được tính toán sao
cho năng lượng sử dụng cho các quá
trình hóa học ở mức thấp nhất. Nếu
như có thể, phương pháp tổng hợp
nên được tiến hành ở nhiệt độ và áp
suất bình thường)

32
Chapter 1: 12 principles of green chemistry

10. Design chemicals and products

to degrade after use (sản phẩm có
thể phân hủy sau sử dụng): Design
chemical products to break down
to innocuous substances after use
so that they do not accumulate in
the environment (khi thải bỏ chúng
có thể bị phân huỷ trong môi trường
thành các chất vô hại)

33
Chapter 1: 12 principles of green chemistry

11. Analyze in real time to prevent pollution (phân tích online

để ngăn ngừa ô nhiễm): Include in-process real-time
monitoring and control during syntheses to minimize or
eliminate the formation of byproducts (phát triển các
phương pháp phân tích cho phép quan sát và kiểm soát việc
tạo thành các sản phẩm phụ không mong muốn).

34
Chapter 1: 12 principles of green chemistry

12. Minimize the potential for accidents (Giảm thiểu nguy cơ

tai nạn): Design chemicals and their forms (solid, liquid,
or gas) to minimize the potential for chemical accidents
including explosions, fires, and releases to the
environment
