Mechanochemical transformations have made chemists enter unknown territories, forcing a
different chemistry perspective. While questioning or revisiting familiar concepts belonging …

One central challenge for XXI century chemists is the development of sustainable processes
that do not represent a risk either to humanity or to the environment. In this regard, the …

The extraordinary impact of metal-based complexes on synthetic methods is still recognized
nowadays, and attempts are currently undertaken to further extend the use of metal-assisted …

The formation of carbohydrates represents an essential step to provide building blocks and
a source of chemical energy in several models for the emergence of life. Formaldehyde …

In recent years, mechanochemistry has become an innovative and sustainable alternative to
traditional solvent-based synthesis. Mechanochemistry rapidly expanded across a wide …

Resonant acoustic mixing (RAM) offers a simple, efficient route for mechanochemical
synthesis in the absence of milling media or bulk solvents. Here, we show the use of RAM to …

Over the past 15 years, mechanochemistry has developed into a powerful tool for the
synthesis of molecules and materials while avoiding the consumption of bulk solvents. With …

Under mechanochemical conditions in ball mills, copper-and vanadium-containing minerals
initiate atom transfer radical cyclizations and oxidative couplings, respectively. Only catalytic …

The crystal structures of many organic compounds can be determined by growing single
crystals using standard laboratory methods and collecting X-ray data using single-crystal X …

The use of mechanical ball milling to facilitate the synthesis of organic compounds has
attracted intense interest from organic chemists. Herein, we report a new process for the …
