Just Published! Benign by Design: Alternative Synthetic Design for Pollution Prevention This new volume describes the current status and potential of synthetic chemistry designed to use and to generate fewer hazardous substances. It presents research results on the replacement of hazardous feedstocks with biologically derived, innocuous feedstocks; of hazardous reagents with visible light; and of phosgene, benzene, and halogens in a variety of industrially important reactions. In addition, the volume examines new techniques for carrying out transformations in environmentally benign solvent systems and provides examples of how alternative synthetic design for pollution prevention has been made commercially available. It also describes how to conduct a sourcereduction assessment and analyzes computer-assisted synthetic design. Paul T. Anastas and Carol A.
