Atom economy is a key concept of green chemistry that measures how efficiently the atoms of reactants are incorporated into the desired product. In substitution reactions, atom economy is generally less than 100% because part of the reactant atoms are converted into by-products rather than the target compound. This can be clearly shown with a suitable example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction. Consider the reaction of bromomethane with aqueous potassium hydroxide to form methanol: CH₃Br + KOH → CH₃OH + KBr In this substitution reaction, the hydroxyl group replaces the
