Description :
Green chemistry is a branch of chemistry which deals with the environmentally benign chemical synthesis. It reduces the use and generation of hazardous substances or byproducts and the reactions which fulfill one or more principles of Green chemistry are known as green reactions. The present study has been done to find out the importance of Green reactions over routine chemical reactions which are generally carried out in our daily chemistry practices and to apply this Green reactions in laboratory experiments. For this study some of the basic reactions were replaced by Green reactions and the comparative analysis was done which showed that green reactions are very much superior to the routine reactions which are performed in the laboratory. Green reactions were easy to handle, having minimum waste, maximum product, safe for environment, low energy requirement and biodegradable. It concludes that application of Green reactions is much essential in the educational system so as to bring the revolution in conventional methods of practical analysis and make our environment clean and free of chemical pollutants. Think Green, be Green and go Green.
