The Green Chemistry Toolkit was developed under the Global Green Chemistry Initiative – a project led by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in partnership with the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale University.
The reagent guides purpose is to encourage chemists to choose a ‘greener’ choice of reaction conditions. The guides aim to achieve this by providing transparency through the use of Venn diagrams in addition to improving understanding by discussion and up to date references.
In line with the green chemistry roundtables core values, these guides aim to assist chemists in making informed decisions when picking the most sustainable reagent for any transformation at hand.
