Sustainability has increased importance in the pharmaceutical industry (and beyond) with a heightened focus on greener designs, more efficient route selection, better assessments on the environmental impact of reagents and solvents, as well as better tools to assess the sustainability of a process.
Solvent swaps are common operation within a synthetic step to setup the following reaction, extraction, or crystallization which can be optimized to perform better in a different solvent.
