In this video, Louise Summerton at the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence, University of York describes a variety of other parameters, aside from efficiency based metrics, that should be taken into consideration when assessing the greenness of a reaction.
Direct amidation exercise (part 2)
In this exercise, (attached here) we revisit the direct amidation example looked at earlier and examine some of the wider considerations to assess the greenness of the reaction (Scheme 1). You will need to use the data sheet to complete the exercise.
Scheme 1: Direction amidation example reaction [1]
After completing the exercise you can check your answers against the answer sheet.
