Choose four of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry **link attached below** one of which must be the “Atom Economy” principle, and evaluate your Dopamine and a potential process for synthesizing Dopamine using your four chosen principles.
Summarize your findings and analysis for your peers, making sure to respond to these prompts:
How does your potential synthesis pathway incorporate your chosen Green Chemistry principles?
Do pharmaceutical companies consider atom efficiency in the synthesis of new drugs? How are companies trying to improve their atom efficiency? Does anything get reused in the process?
What is the difference between percent yield and atom efficiency? Give an example.
