This article \u00a0critically reviewS the use of alternative solvents in chemistry. Rather than follow the well-trodden path of discussing in turn the reactions that have been performed in each major type of alternative solvent, we will instead structure our article in terms of what we consider to be the fundamental issues:\u2009 life cycle analysis (so as to establish the \u201cgreen\u201d and sustainability aspects from the outset), solvency (so as to consider what is needed in the application and how the alternatives manage to meet these needs), and application (to consider practical issues in both process and product).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
