  3. O.E.C.D. TOPICS ON SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY (approved at the OECD meeting in Paris, June 6, 1999) • Use of Alternative Feedstocks • Use of Innocuous Reagents • Employing Natural Processes • Use of Alternative Solvents • Design of Safer Chemicals • Developing Alternative Reaction Conditions • Minimizing Energy Consumption

  4. Green Chemistry On the Rise International Iunion of Pure and Applied Chemistry IUPAC IUPAC Committee on Green Chemistry Chairman: Prof. Buxing Han, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  5. SPECIAL TOPIC ISSUE ON CHLORINE-FREE SYNTHESIS FOR GREEN CHEMISTRY

  6. CONTENTS OF SPECIAL TOPIC ISSUE Rationale: to seek useful and industrially relevant examples for alternatives to chlorine in synthesis, so as to facilitate the development of industrially relevant and implementable breakthrough technologies. 30 Contributions dealing with: • Part 1: Chlorine-free reagents • Part 2: Chlorine-free catalysts • Part 3: Carbonate chemistry • Part 4: Chlorine-free solvents • Part 5: Benign chloro-free methodologies • Part 6: Metrics of chlorine-free syntheses
