Green chemistry and sustainable development have become increasingly important topics for the education of future chemists. The cross-disciplinary nature of green chemistry and sustainable development often means these subjects are taught in conjunction with other subjects, such as organic chemistry and chemical engineering. Herein, a straightforward and efficient approach for vertical integration of green chemistry concepts within existing undergraduate organic chemistry courses is shown. The gradual self-evaluation, “greenification”, and reassessment of an organic chemistry course at KTH Royal Institute of Technology from 2013 to 2017 is described, with particular focus on the laboratory course and a novel green chemistry project designed to promote sustainability thinking and reasoning. The laboratory project, which can also be conducted as an independent organic chemistry laboratory exercise, required students to critically evaluate variations of the same Pechmann condensation experiment according to the twelve principles of green chemistry. The course evaluation shows that, after the modifications, students feel more comfortable with the topics “green chemistry” and “sustainability” and consider these topics more important for their future careers. Furthermore, the ability of students to discuss and critically evaluate green chemistry parameters improved considerably as determined from the laboratory project reports.

将绿色化学与可持续性教育简单有效地整合到现有的有机化学课程中

绿色化学和可持续发展已成为未来化学家教育中越来越重要的主题。绿色化学和可持续发展的跨学科性质通常意味着这些学科与其他学科（如有机化学和化学工程）一起被教授。本文展示了一种简单有效的方法，可将绿色化学概念垂直整合到现有的本科有机化学课程中。介绍了2013年至2017年KTH皇家理工学院有机化学课程的逐步自我评估，“绿色化”和重新评估，尤其侧重于实验室课程和旨在促进可持续性思考和推理的新颖绿色化学项目。。实验室项目这也可以作为一个独立的有机化学实验室练习进行，要求学生根据绿色化学的十二个原则严格评估同一Pechmann缩合实验的变化。课程评估表明，经过修改后，学生对“绿色化学”和“可持续性”主题感到更自在，并认为这些主题对他们的未来职业更为重要。此外，根据实验室项目报告确定，学生讨论和批判性评价绿色化学参数的能力得到了很大提高。修改后，学生对“绿色化学”和“可持续性”主题感到更自在，并认为这些主题对他们的未来职业更为重要。此外，根据实验室项目报告确定，学生讨论和批判性评价绿色化学参数的能力得到了很大提高。修改后，学生对“绿色化学”和“可持续性”主题感到更自在，并认为这些主题对他们的未来职业更为重要。此外，根据实验室项目报告确定，学生讨论和批判性评价绿色化学参数的能力得到了很大提高。
