Cross-electrophile coupling (XEC), defined by us as the cross-coupling of two different σ-
electrophiles that is driven by catalyst reduction, has seen rapid progression in recent years …

Activating raw, zero-valent metals is an essential capability for chemical processes, which
include synthesis and catalysis. In recent years there has been the discovery and growing …

Birch reduction has been widely used in organic synthesis for over half a century as a
powerful method to dearomatize arenes into 1, 4‐cyclohexadiene derivatives. However, the …

Ball mills input energy to samples by pulverising the contents of the jar. Each impact on the
sample or wall of the jar results in an instantaneous transmission of energy in the form of a …

The cross-electrophile coupling of either twisted-amides or heteroaryl halides with alkyl
halides, enabled by ball-milling, is herein described. The operationally simple nickel …

The molecular Suzuki cross‐coupling reaction was conducted mechanochemically, without
solvents, ligands, or catalyst powders. Utilizing one catalytically active palladium milling ball …

In recent years, mechanochemistry has become recognized as an efficient, practical, and
sustainable alternative for chemical synthesis. Adhering to the principles of green chemistry …

Herein, we report a reductive cross‐coupling reaction of α‐oxy halides, simply generated
from aldehydes, with a series of C (sp2)‐and C (sp)‐electrophiles. A wide range of aryl and …

Photochemical reactors inherently suffer from the low penetration depth of light and
therefore rely on high dilutions to enable chemical reactions. Here we present the first …

This proof‐of‐concept study cements the viability and generality of mechanophotocatalysis,
merging mechanochemistry and photocatalysis to enable solvent‐minimized photocatalytic …
