“…[110] This is also known as Sheldon's E-factor. E factor = Total mass of waste ( kg ) Mass of product ( kg ) E-factor calculations is one of the important methods to calculate the waste associated with the process, which includes all unwanted side products, reagents, solvents and energy.…”

“…It is the ratio between the mass of desired product to the total mass of products, expressed as a percentage (Scheme 1.1). The second is called the E-factor and was devised by Sheldon in 1992 [10]. It is the ratio between the mass of all the generated waste to the mass of desired product (Scheme 1.1).…”

The concept of atom economy was introduced in the early 1990s by Trost and Sheldon to emphasize the importance of minimizing the waste created by chemical reactions. Atom economy can be defined as the reduction, if not the elimination, of all the atoms introduced in the process that do not end up in the desired product. This idea came together with a desire to be able to measure rationally the created waste and several criteria of atom economy were thus grafted. Since then, many new chemical reactions that can be called atom economical have been developed. In this chapter, the context, the principle, the criteria and the tool box of atom economy will be presented. A mini‐review on atom economical processes involving CH activation follows.

“…In order to achieve the "triple bottom line", we need to develop new, more environmentally friendly, chemical products and processes [1]. Catalysis, which has played such a vital role in the success of the industry in the 20 th century, will also play a very important role in the new greener industry of the new century.…”

The use of heterogenization as a method for achieving clean synthesis is discussed. The chemical modification of mesoporous solids can be used to make a range of catalysts, including solid acids and bases, and stable metal complexes for selective oxidations and other reactions. By avoiding an aqueous quench stage in the separation, the heterogenization of catalysts and reagents can lead to substantial reductions in waste produced in organic chemical manufacturing processes.
