What are the green chemistry metrics of the biosourced catalysts in the synthesis of moclobemide?

Label:chem

Topic
The study calculates green chemistry metrics such as atom economy (AE), reaction mass efficiency (RME), and environmental factor (E-Factor) to evaluate the environmental impact of the biosourced catalysts in the synthesis of moclobemide.

From: "Toward a New Way for the Valorization of Miscanthus Biomass Produced on Metal-Contaminated Soils Part 2: Miscanthus-Based Biosourced Catalyst: Design, Preparation, and Catalytic Efficiency in the Synthesis of Moclobemide", Sustainability 2021, 13(1), 34;
Answer
The biosourced catalyst M1 achieved an atom economy (AE) of 89.3%, a reaction mass efficiency (RME) of 80.4%, and an environmental factor (E-Factor) of 0.243. These metrics indicate that the use of M1 leads to one of the greenest synthetic methods for producing moclobemide, with minimal waste generation and high yield. The study concludes that the biosourced catalysts offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to moclobemide synthesis.
