Using information regarding Atom Economy as well as other Principles of Green Chemistry, analyze the merits of the two routes for synthesizing Ibuprofen.

Please discuss atom economy, byproducts, cost of reagents, and the techniques that could be utilized in both routes. Compare and contrast the two routes. Which route is better? Would you choose one over the other?

The table for calculating atom economy below should be included with your discussion. 

Stoichiometric Coefficient, Name of Starting Material	Atomic Symbol, Quantity, and Atomic Mass of each atom	Mass (Quantity Times Atomic Mass) of all atoms	Atoms Utilized in Product	Mass of Atoms Utilized in Product	Atoms Wasted in Byproducts	Mass of Atoms Wasted in Byproducts

PLEASE SEE PIC:

Route 1: The Boots Company Synthesis of Ibuprofen

Route 2: The BHC Company Synthesis of Ibuprofen
