On assumptions regarding atom economy:
“The process of calculating atom economy may be simplified by only considering key reactants. For example, ‘catalysts’ used in stoichiometric quantities, or the acid or base used in hydrolysis, are considered to be reactants. These examples are in contrast to common inorganic reagents, even when used in stoichiometric quantities (e.g. potassium carbonate…), which have been ignored. Inorganic reagents and/or other material are not included in the calculations as long as at least two other reacting substances are identified.”
Constable, Curzons, and Cunningham, Green Chemistry, 2002, 521-527

Lessons learned:• Getting students thinking about the overall
process is good.• Expecting them to do it on their own because it’s
“simple” is asking too much.• The Green Chemistry Assistant enables us to
explore the nature of green chemistry processes and green chemistry measures.
