The design of environmentally friendly methodologies has been the driving force of scientists in recent years. In particular, the use of biomass-derived materials, green solvents and alternatives techniques has been investigated. In this conference, several green chemistry approaches that target advanced synthesis and processes will be presented. These approaches include: (i) green synthesis of quinoline and phenanthroline derivatives in sole water using microwave irradiation and high temperature/pressure;[1] (ii) production of furfural from D-xylose, xylane and hemicellulose using microwave irradiation and high temperature/pressure;[2] (iii) conventional micellar catalysis and magic photochromic micellar catalysis.[3]. Conception, synthesis and physico-chemical properties will be detailed.
