Abstract
In recent decades, green synthesis is increasingly being employed for more environmentally
friendly processes and constitutes one central theme of research and development in both academic and
industrial chemistry. “Green Chemistry” refers to the design of products and processes that imply the
reduction or elimination of substances that are harmful to life or the environment. Due to the benefits of
green synthesis, such as reduced waste and expense, not just pharmaceutical firms but also other chemical
industries have begun to take steps towards it. Green synthesis techniques include using green solvents,
catalysts, and other materials. This review article illustrates the utilization of sustainable methods in the
synthesis of biologically active compounds via different green methodologies, such as green solvents,
green catalyst, green media, etc. We hope that this chapter will provide a quick overview of the different
aspects of green chemistry.
