Detailing published laboratory experiments and proven case studies, this book discusses concrete examples of green organic chemistry teaching approaches from both lecture\/seminar and practical perspectives. The experienced contributors address such topics as the elimination of solvents in the organic laboratory, organic reactions under aqueous conditions, organic reactions in non-aqueous media, greener organic reagents, waste management\/recycling strategies, and microwave technology as a greener heating tool. This reference allows instructors to directly incorporate material presented in the text into their courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEncouraging a stimulating organic chemistry experience, the text emphasizes the need for undergraduate education to:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eFocus on teaching sustainability principles throughout the curriculum\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eGreen Organic Chemistry in Lecture and Laboratory\u003c\/b\u003e is a valuable compilation of classroom and laboratory examples suitable for undergraduate organic chemistry. … Educating students about environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional solvents, reagents, and reaction conditions fosters critical thinking and promotes sustainability through green chemistry. \u003cb\u003eGreen Organic Chemistry in Lecture and Laboratory\u003c\/b\u003e is a useful reference book that will assist faculty in fostering these skills in their students.\"\u003cbr\u003e—Mary M.
