The oxidation reaction stands as a fundamental process in organic synthesis, holding significant importance in generating various value-added chemical products. Oxidative processes are pivotal realms for both industrial and academic exploration. Present-day scientific and research pursuits emphasize the imperative need for chemistry to evolve towards absolute sustainability, prioritizing safety, intelligence, and environmental friendliness—thus aligning with the principles of green chemistry. This work aims to report a green oxidation procedure of menthol to menthone in multigram scale, using calcium hypochlorite as reagent, that can be use in academy research or practical class.

Laboratories are important part of teaching and learning in university, however they also possess significant threat for environment sustainability. Laboratories in medical school produce significant amount of biomedical waste and need huge amount of energy, water, and hazardous chemicals. Green laboratory promotes sustainability and reduces environmental impact. This concept involves key elements namely energy and water conservation, consumable wise, as well as waste reduction and recycling. This literature review aims to explore the purposes, principles, and implementation strategies of a green laboratory, using best practices from green laboratory initiative conducted at various medical schools. To initiate the establishment of green laboratory initiative, the implementation strategies should consist of providing education and training, adopting green technology, and maintaining long-term sustainable practices. To conclude, green laboratory initiative in medical school could serve as a reference for initiating and establishing green laboratories in other university laboratories, as such university can support the achievement of sustainable development goals, while still be able to maintain the teaching-learning productivity and the quality of research.
