Mechanochemistry provides an environmentally benign platform to develop more sustainable chemical processes by limiting raw materials, energy use, and waste generation while using physically smaller equipment. A continuously growing research community has steadily showcased examples of beneficial mechanochemistry applications at both the laboratory preparative scale. In contrast solution-based chemistry, mechanochemical have not yet been standardized, thus scaling up is still a nascent discipline. The purpose this Minireview highlight similarities, differences challenges various approaches that successfully applied for range scales. We hope provide discussion starting point those interested in further developing commercial use and/or industrialisation.

Mechanochemical synthesis that uses transition-metal catalysts has attracted significant attention due to its numerous advantages, including low solvent waste, short reaction times, and the avoidance of problems associated with solubility starting materials. However, even though mechanochemical environment is largely different from homogeneous solution systems, catalysts, which were originally developed for use in solution, have been used directly reactions without any molecular-level modifications ensure their suitability mechanochemistry. Alas, this limited development more efficient cross-coupling processes. Here, we report a conceptually distinct approach, whereby mechanochemistry-directed design develop ligands Suzuki-Miyaura reactions. The ligand was guided by experimental observation catalyst deactivation via aggregation palladium species, problem particularly prominent solid-state By embedding into poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymer, found phosphine-ligated palladium(0) species could be immobilized fluid phase created PEG chains, preventing physical mixing crystalline solid thus undesired deactivation. This catalytic system showed high activity polyaromatic substrates close room temperature. These usually require elevated temperatures reactive presence systems conventional such as SPhos. present study hence provides important insights high-performance potential inspire industrially attractive, almost solvent-free technologies.

Birch reduction has been widely used in organic synthesis for over half a century as powerful method to dearomatize arenes into 1,4-cyclohexadiene derivatives. However, the conventional reaction using liquid ammonia requires laborious procedures ensure inert conditions and low temperatures. Although several ammonia-free modifications have reported, development of an operationally simple, efficient, scalable protocol remains challenge. Herein, we report lithium-based air without special operating ball-milling technique. This is characterized by its operational simplicity extremely short time (within 1 min), probably owing situ mechanical activation lithium metal, broad substrate scope, no requirement dry bulk solvents. The potential our flash also demonstrated efficient bioactive target molecules gram-scale synthesis.

In sharp contrast to the use of conventional magnesium-based Grignard reagents (R-MgX), application calcium-based heavy (R-CaX) in organic synthesis remains poorly explored. This is mainly due lack experimentally simple ways access such organocalcium nucleophiles from readily available starting materials under mild conditions. Here, we show that a mechanochemical technique using ball milling allows generation aryl halides and commercially calcium metal without complicated pre-activation processes. Notably, all experimental operations can be carried out air. Our operationally protocol enables rapid development novel cross-electrophile-coupling reactions mediated by arylcalcium nucleophiles, which are rather difficult reagents. method will allow synthetic chemists unique reactivity nucleophiles.
