Summary
Green solvents have become indispensable in advancing sustainable chemistry by addressing the environmental, health, and safety concerns associated with traditional volatile organic compounds. These solvents, often derived from renewable resources or designed for reduced toxicity and improved biodegradability, align with the principles of green chemistry and offer promising alternatives in both academic research and industrial applications. The transition to greener solvent systems is not only driven by regulatory pressure but also by the increasing demand for cleaner technologies in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, polymer, and food sectors. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the major classes of green solvents including bioalcohols (ethanol, butanol), terpenes (limonene, pine
