“… 1 Thus, over the last decade, tremendous efforts have been devoted to the exploration of an eco-friendly methodology in both academia and industries using solvent-free techniques, 2 ionic liquids, 3 water media, 4 phase transfer catalysts, 5 solid-supported catalysts, 6 microwave irradiation 7 or grindstone/ball-milling processes. 8 The use of grindstone chemistry is very fascinating for the synthesis of desired functional molecules via simple mixing of the precursors and catalysts with much faster reaction rates and selectivity under benign reaction conditions. In recent times, much attention has been paid to organic transformations promoted by solid-supported reagents or catalysts and till now they occupy a special position in the development of greener chemical processes due to their attractive properties such as high surface area, crystalline structure, less or no corrosion, high thermal stability, persistence in all organic solvents, no waste or disposal problems, and recyclability.…”
