Abstract
To foster greater awareness of sustainability issues in chemistry among future professional chemists, traditional course content must be revised. We have collected and developed material that allows students and teachers of organic chemistry to assess reactions beyond experimental set ups, reaction mechanisms, and chemical yields. The NOP resource we use and distribute freely online includes additional parameters that should be considered in the organic chemistry laboratory: atom economy of chemical transformations; energy efficiency of chemical transformations; questions of waste; renewable feedstocks; toxicity and ecotoxicity; and safety measures for the chemicals used. We report on the development, use, and international adoption of NOP project efforts to promote sustainable practices in organic chemistry laboratories.
