An Overview of Recent Advances in Green Chemistry Strategies for Pharmaceutical Synthesis

Green Chemistry GC is an emerging and dynamic field that is gaining considerable attention in both academic and industrial settings. A core strategy in GC involves replacing hazardous solvents with safer, more environmentally benign alternatives that can be seamlessly integrated into chemical processes. One of the most prominent branches of GC is Green Analytical Chemistry GAC , which emphasizes the reduction or elimination of toxic, harmful, and environmentally persistent chemicals through the innovative design of products and processes. This approach represents a modern and science driven method for environmental protection, playing a significant role in addressing issues such as global warming, acid rain, and climate change. At its foundation, green chemistry promotes higher efficiency, improved selectivity, and reduced waste generation making it a vital tool in combating environmental pollution. In the chemical industry, the primary objective is to reduce negative impacts on both human health and the environment. Achieving this requires researchers to focus on extending the life cycle of chemicals through strategies that involve risk minimization and the evaluation of potential hazards in a sustainable manner. With the global population expected to reach 9 billion by 2055, it becomes increasingly important to preserve critical resources like food, energy, fibers, and animal feed. The future depends on sustainable, renewable innovations that can help meet these growing demands. Green chemistry also faces interdisciplinary challenges. To fully understand and apply GC principles, collaboration across diverse scientific and engineering disciplines is necessary. Even emerging fields such as biochemistry and nano chemistry hold significant potential to contribute meaningfully to advancements in green chemistry research.
