Question: Procedure: To a 10 mL round bottom flask add 2 mL of 2 wt% TPGS-750-M (DL--tocopherol methoxypolyethylene glycol succinate), a surfactant derived from vitamin E.

Procedure:

To a 10 mL round bottom flask add 2 mL of 2 wt% TPGS-750-M (DL--tocopherol methoxypolyethylene glycol succinate), a surfactant derived from vitamin E. Benzyl azide (67.1 mg, 63.0 L) is added to the solution using a 100-microliter pipette. 4-Tolylacetylene (58 mg, 63.4 L) is then also added to the mixture. In a small sample vial, a reduced copper catalyst is prepared by dissolving CuSO4 5 H2O (52 mg) and ascorbic acid (48 mg) in 4 mL of DI water. Then 1 mL of the catalyst solution is added to the reaction mixture and is allowed to stir for 1.5 hours. After this time, the flask is removed and placed into an ice bath for 30 minutes.

Which specific principles of Green Chemistry could be claimed for the reaction as described in this experiment?
