“…In this direction, “mechanochemistry,” carried out by grinding or milling, has garnered a lot of attention over the last decade, owing to its green attributes such as solvent‐free (or solvent‐less), clean, safe, atom economic and time‐efficient method 16 . Although “ball‐milling” is an efficient and versatile technique for organic transformations, 16 simple manual grinding in a mortar‐pestle, introduced by Toda et al, 17 is gradually becoming an effective tool for a variety of organic reactions 18,19 including Micheal addition, 18 Claisen‐Schmidt condensation, 18 Wittig reaction, 18 Horner‐Wadsworth‐Emmons reaction 18 organocatalysis, 18 peptide synthesis, 18 heterocycle construction, 18,19 multicomponent reactions 18 and even the synthesis of APIs 18 . Operational and instrumentation simplicity makes it a very useful method at laboratory scale and scope for adequate experimental set‐up at large scale adds value from the industrial perspective as well.…”
