Green Chemistry (Theory)

• The objectives of this course are to:
• Comprehend the foundational principles and overarching scope of green chemistry within pharmaceutical sciences.
• Analyze and evaluate the environmental impact of traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing processes and the significance of green chemistry metrics.
• Acquire knowledge of diverse green chemical techniques, including alternative solvents and various catalytic approaches, for sustainable drug synthesis.
• Recognize the industrial application of green chemistry principles in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, focusing on waste minimization and pollution control.
• To articulate the principles of green chemistry.

After completion of the course student will be able to:

1. CO1Articulate the principles of green chemistry and provide relevant pharmaceutical examples for each.
2. CO2Identify and propose suitable green solvents and catalysts,
3. CO3Understand the advanced synthetic methods using Green synthesis using microwave, Ultrasonic for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
4. CO4Develop strategies for waste minimization and continuous flow reactor in pharmaceutical manufacturing in industries.
5. CO5Articulate the principles of green chemistry and provide relevant pharmaceutical examples for each.
