Abstract

The global E factor (EG factor) has recently been introduced, in the context of asymmetric organocatalysis, as a new green chemistry metric to take into consideration the synthesis of the catalyst in the overall economy of the synthetic process of a given chiral molecule in optically pure form. Herein, its further usefulness in comparing diverse catalytic systems, even different from organocatalysts, is shown by the analysis of four case studies.
