Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The purpose of this critical review is to highlight the advances in this general area by presenting such newer applications in organic synthesis by presenting microwave, ultrasound, sunlight, mechanochemical mixing and other alternative means of activation.
Abstract: Microwave, ultrasound, sunlight and mechanochemical mixing can be used to augment conventional laboratory techniques. By applying these alternative means of activation, a number of chemical transformations have been achieved thereby improving many existing protocols with superior results when compared to reactions performed under traditional conditions. The purpose of this critical review is to highlight the advances in this general area by presenting such newer applications in organic synthesis (175 references).
