Minimization of the hazards in chemical industry processes and the avoidance of the production of toxic substances—these are the goals of environmentally friendly processes. These technologies can also be economically advantageous. This approach is exemplified by a new, almost ideal atom‐efficient oxidative route to adipic acid ( 1 , see scheme), which offers several environmentally improved features compared to the traditional manufacture.
