Abstract
The design of environmentally friendly methodologies has been the driving force of scientists in recent years. In particular, the use of biomass-derived materials, green solvents and alternatives techniques has been investigated.
In this conference, several green chemistry approaches that target advanced synthesis and processes will be presented. These approaches include: (i) green synthesis of quinoline and phenanthroline derivatives in sole water using microwave irradiation and high temperature/pressure;(ii) production of furfural from D-xylose, xylane and hemicellulose via homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis using microwave irradiation and high temperature/pressure; (iii) conventional micellar catalysis and magic photochromic micellar catalysis.
Conception, synthesis and physico-chemical properties will be detailed.
