Green synthesis refers to a method of producing materials, particularly nanoparticles, Using environmentally friendly and sustainable processes, often utilizing biological organisms like plants, bacteria or fungi as reducing agents instead of harmful chemicals, resulting in less toxic and more biocompatible products. Essentially, it's a way to create materials while minimizing environmental impact. A green chemistry methodology for fast and simple bioreduction of aromatic aldehydes to their correspond in aromatic alcohols was achieved using an extract of Aloe Vera in aqueous suspension. Under mi-crowave irradiation this reaction was performed in a short reaction time. In green synthesis, aromatic aldehydes canbeprepared throughvarious reaction that prioritize environmentally friendly methods, often utilizing renewable starting materials, mild reaction conditions and catalysts that minimize waste, including: oxidation of aromatic methyl compounds using selective oxidants, Vilsmeier-haack reaction with environmentally benign catalysts, and catalytic condensation reactions with readily available substrates,: all aiming to produce the desired aromatic aldehydes with minimal environ-mental impact.
