Abstract:

Several reactions taught in Pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry laboratory today are hazardous to environment and hence needs to be modified. With an impetus from Pollution control act, Green Chemistry; a relatively newer branch has originated. The article discusses basic concepts and the implementation of various green chemical reactions. Basic concepts of ionic liquids, supercritical fluids, microwave assisted organic synthesis, biocatalysts and their applications for chemical reactions are discussed. It is the need of the hour to implement this Green Chemistry in Pharmacy. This will acquaint the students with the environmental issues caused by chemical procedures. Suggested green versions of some chemical reactions should be taught in laboratory syllabus either as full experiment or as demonstration.

KEYWORDS: Green Chemistry, Ionic liquids, Microwaves, Catalyst, Undergraduate Pharmacy course
