Despite their impressive capacity to access diverse functional groups and to synthesize structurally complex molecules, the majority of the organic reactions suffers from harsh conditions, low atom economy, and hazardous waste production. The goal of our research is geared towards developing efficient methods to minimize the adverse environmental impact and contributing to chemical sustainability. Herein, we illustrate three distinct green approaches, studying the novel reactivities with environmentally innocuous reagents to improve the synthetic efficiency, utilization of natural feedstocks, and employment of green energy to facilitate various important chemical transformations. From this perspective article, we hope to provide an overview of green synthetic chemistry and inspire the expansion of the field in the future.
