TLDR
Concentrating on recent advances, this article covers industrial aspects, inorganic materials, organic synthesis, cocrystallisation, pharmaceutical aspects, metal complexes, supramolecular aspects and characterization methods.Abstract:
The aim of this critical review is to provide a broad but digestible overview of mechanochemical synthesis, i.e. reactions conducted by grinding solid reactants together with no or minimal solvent. Although mechanochemistry has historically been a sideline approach to synthesis it may soon move into the mainstream because it is increasingly apparent that it can be practical, and even advantageous, and because of the opportunities it provides for developing more sustainable methods. Concentrating on recent advances, this article covers industrial aspects, inorganic materials, organic synthesis, cocrystallisation, pharmaceutical aspects, metal complexes (including metal–organic frameworks), supramolecular aspects and characterization methods. The historical development, mechanistic aspects, limitations and opportunities are also discussed (314 references).read more

Clean, efficient syntheses of cyclotriveratrylene (CTV)and tris-(O-allyl)CTV in an ionic liquid
TL;DR: In this paper, solvent-free and ionic liquid reaction media were used for cyclic cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) synthesis under mild conditions, which obviates the need for large quantities of organic solvent and strong dehydrating acids yet provides pure crystalline product in high yields.

Structural mimicry and the photoreactivity of organic solids
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that molecules that are photostable in the solid state can be rendered photoactive if, by burial within crystals of closely analogous monomers, they can be made to mimic the molecular conformation of the latter; this fact is demonstrated for a pair of cyclopentanone derivatives, and the general significance of this result in solid state synthesis is discussed.
