Abstract:Mechanochemical synthesis has emerged as a sustainable alternative to traditional organic reactions, offering several advantages, including reduced solvent usage, lower reaction time, lower energy consumption, and enhanced reaction efficiency. In this study, we explored the application of mechanochemistry to Clemmensen reduction, a classic method for converting aldehydes and ketones into alkanes. By employing ball milling as a mechanical activation, we demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of mechanochemica… Show more
