The classical stoichiometric oxidation of alcohols is an important tool in contemporary organic chemistry. However, it still requires huge modifications in order to comply with the principles of green chemistry. The use of toxic chemicals, hazardous organic solvents, and the large amounts of toxic wastes that result from the reactions are a few examples of the problems that must be solved. Nanogold alone or conjugated with palladium were supported on different carriers (SiO2, C) and investigated in order to evaluate their catalytic potential for environmentally friendly alcohol oxidation under solvent-free and base-free conditions in the presence H2O2 as a clean oxidant. We tested different levels of Au loading (0.1–1.2% wt.) and different active catalytic site forms (monometallic Au or bimetallic Au–Pd sites). This provided new insights on how the structure of the Au-dispersions affected their catalytic performance. Importantly, the examination of the catalytic performance of the resulting catalysts was oriented toward a broad scope of alcohols, including those that are the most resistant to oxidation—the primary aliphatic alcohols. Surprisingly, the studies proved that Au/SiO2 at a level of Au loading as low as 0.1% wt. appeared to be efficient and prospective catalytic system for the green oxidation of alcohol. Most importantly, the results revealed that 0.1% Au/SiO2 might be the catalyst of choice with a wide scope of utility in the green oxidation of various structurally different alcohols as well as the non-activated aliphatic ones.

Flavanones [2-aryl-2,3-dihydrochromen-4(1H)ones] and 2-aryl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones are valuable precursors in the synthesis of important pharmacological scaffolds, so efficient methodologies towards their synthesis are important in the medicinal chemistry context. Their synthesis also involves theoretical concepts such as aldol condensation, isomerization, and catalysis that make it useful in an undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory. The use of both microwave irradiation as a source of energy to promote reactions and efficient catalysts are considered within green chemistry principles, mostly because the reaction yields are improved and reaction time decreased. In this paper, the efficiency of microwave irradiation use in the synthesis of chalcone derivatives and efficient catalyst systems to promote their isomerization into flavanones and 2-aryl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones is demonstrated.

: Ultrasonication, nowadays, is well-regarded as an effective green tool in implementing a plethora of organic transformations. The last decade has seen quite useful applications of ultrasound irradiation in synthetic organic chemistry. Ultrasound has already come out as a unique technique in green chemistry practice, for its inherent properties of minimizing wastes and reducing energy and time, thereby increasing the product yields with higher purities under milder reaction conditions. The present review summarizes ultrasound-promoted useful organic transformations involving both carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom (N, O, S) bond-forming reactions in the absence or presence of varying catalytic systems, reported during the period 2016-2020.

Abstract Many logistic and instructional changes followed the incorporation of the 12 principles of green chemistry into organic chemistry laboratory courses at the University of Detroit Mercy. Over the last decade, institutional limitations have been turned into green chemical strengths in many areas, including integration of atom economy metrics into learning outcomes, replacing overly toxic equipment and reagents, and modifying matters of reaction scale and type.
