“…4 Along with an increasing interest in the formation of inorganic and coordination compounds by mechanochemical means, there has also been a keen interest in carrying out organic synthesis this way, and a diverse range of organic reactions has been demonstrated, mainly through ball milling. 12 In particular, several successful mechanochemical condensation reactions have been reported, including the Knoevenagel condensation and Aldol reaction. 8,9 , 17 , 10 Other examples of organic reactions performed mechanochemically include the Wittig reaction, Diels-Alder, click and Suzuki reactions, some of which usually require quite stringent conditions in their conventional solution-based synthesis such as the use of dry solvents and inert atmospheres.…”
