Abstract

Organic chemical reactions are usually promoted by heating of reactants in various organic solvents. Amongst emerging synthetic methods mechanochemistry is recognized as being promissing in the reduction of the environmental impact by conducting chemical reactions in solid state. Energy required to promote transformation is obtained by mechanical force commonly by vibrational ball milling. Greener aspects of the mechanochemistry are in the reduction of solvent use, shorter reaction times, room temperature and better reactions yields in comparison to classical thermal solution conditions. This mini-review gives selected examples of eco-sustainable mechanochemical organic reactions.
