Abstract

This paper reviews the application and prospect of green solvents in organic synthesis in the field of sustainable chemistry. The article first introduces the concept of green solvents and their environmentally friendly properties, and then discusses in detail the various applications of green solvents in organic synthesis, including as reaction media, promoters and selective regulators. The article also analyzes the advantages of green solvents in improving reaction efficiency, reducing energy consumption and reducing waste emissions, and looks forward to the future development direction and potential challenges of green solvents in organic synthesis. Through these discussions, this article aims to emphasize the importance of green solvents in promoting the sustainable development of the chemical industry and provide a reference for research and application in related fields.
