Green solvents are environmentally friendly chemical solvents that are used as a part of green chemistry. They came to prominence in 2015, when the UN defined a new sustainability -focused development plan based on 17 sustainable development goals, recognizing the need for green chemistry and green solvents for a more sustainable future.

Dihydrolevoglucosenone is considered a "green" replacement for DMF. [5] Several standard reactions of organic chemistry, e.g. Menshutkin reaction, [5] Sonogashira coupling, [18] Suzuki-Miyaura coupling [19] and the production of ureas [20] have been carried out in dihydrolevoglucosenone. Formation of ureas using dihydrolevoglucosenone as a solvent
Due to the toxicity of the traditional solvents, green solvents were investigated in recent years. [14] Due to its environmentally friendly profile, gamma-valerolactone showed the potential to fabricate polysulfone membranes as a co-solvent.
Green chemistry, similar to sustainable chemistry or circular chemistry, [1] is an area of chemistry and chemical engineering focused on the design of products and processes that minimize or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. [2]

Cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME), also known as methoxycyclopentane, is a hydrophobic ether solvent. A high boiling point of 106 °C (223 °F) and preferable characteristics such as low formation of peroxides, relative stability under acidic and basic conditions, formation of azeotropes with water coupled with a narrow explosion range render CPME an attractive alternative to other ethereal ...

An inorganic nonaqueous solvent is a solvent other than water, that is not an organic compound. These solvents are used in chemical research and industry for reactions that cannot occur in aqueous solutions or require a special environment. Inorganic nonaqueous solvents can be classified into two groups, protic solvents and aprotic solvents.
