- Alexey Leontyev was just tagged in a comment: Posted this in the forum, but getting no traction. Re-posting here and tagging @Krystal Grieger and @Alexey Leontyev . I am looking for an assessment for my toxicology course - I'd like to have both content and attitudes. Haven't found anything using google, but maybe I'm not looking in the right spots. Have also checked out various toxicology sites & can find questions related to certification but not just a course....
- Alexey Leontyev was just tagged in a comment: Hey @Alexey Leontyev ! I have some experiments etc. which I'm always happy to chat and share. We have a "greener inorganic" group as well I am happy to add you to if interested (just started so not much in there yet). Otherwise there is also a few experiment in one of the curated collections as well (https://gctlc.org/greener-inorganic-labs)! I'd love to hear if there's anything specifically you're interested in, or happy to discuss some of the current experiments being conducted at your institution and some possible alternative substitutions or ways to develop them into greener experiments!...
- Alexey Leontyev was just tagged in a comment: @Alexey Leontyev out of curiosity, how would you recommend wording a question like this in an assessment (e.g., exam)? You said above that, as worded, it's pretty vague...would you give more details to students? Or would you leave it intentionally broad? I kind of like it as is... A good critical thinking question and that way, you can look for the major bullet points Jerald and Dave outlined above, but would love to know your thoughts....
- Alexey Leontyev was just tagged in a comment: Hey @Alexey Leontyev ! 👋 That's a super interesting question. It really seems like the "greenness" depends on the specific reaction.Like, what if you had a chiral starting material? The SN2 reaction would give you a specific stereoisomer, which could be considered "greener" since you're making a desired product with high selectivity. But what if your starting material is really sterically hindered and the SN2 reaction is super slow? You might need a ton of energy or a harsher solvent to get it to go.What do you all think?I'm curious to hear what other factors you guys consider when trying to decide which reaction is "greener."...
