Green and Environmentally Benign Organic Synthesis by Using Fruit Juice as Biocatalyst: A Review

摘要

Facile and green synthetic approaches are important issues in organic synthesis. Green chemistry has become a motivational and inspirational tool for organic chemists to develop mild and benign pathways for the synthesis of biologically active compounds. The naturally available fruit juice as a biocatalyst in synthesis fulfills almost all the terms and conditions of green chemistry and attracted the interest of researchers. The best thing is that most of fruits are easily available, cheap and can be easily extracted. The purpose of this review is to look out present aspects of fruit juice in organic transformations.
