Here, an interesting case study is the continuous flow synthesis of the functional molecule paracetamol from the monoterpene β-pinene. The bench-scale technology of this process was conceptualised at the University of Bath and is described in more detail in the supporting materials. This synthesis pathway represents a proof-of-concept that could pave the way for terpene-based manufacture of a range of functional molecules. However, the environmental impacts associated with this synthesis were not previously quantified, which is an essential task to determine whether an industrial process based on this synthesis route could yield a green alternative to conventional paracetamol manufacture. As such, the core research goal of this study was to holistically evaluate the environmental impacts of this proof-of-concept process for the manufacture of paracetamol from β-pinene at the industrial scale.
