Recently, scientists have been developing sustainable processes, and in this context, mechanochemistry is commonly associated with green chemistry for its ability to reduce waste generation from chemical reactions. The well-known acetate complex, diacetate bis(triphenylphosphine) ruthenium(II) [Ru(OAc)2(PPh3)2], a versatile precursor preparing active complexes several catalytic This report presents an efficient straightforward manual grinding protocol the synthesis of ruthenium carboxylate starting commercially available [RuCl2(PPh3)3] metal carboxylates. work represents novel preliminary investigation into precursors’ alternative solventless route based on grinding. To our knowledge, first time [Ru(OAc)2(PPh3)2] has prepared via mechanochemical procedure. method also investigated other alkali carboxylates yields ranging 30 80% were obtained. A comparison sustainability environmental impact between conventional solution carried out using E-factor Mass Productivity. While complex MP only slightly better compared solvent (3 vs. 4 ~6 5 MP), benzoate higher results found (1 ~4 10 MP).
