Organic Mechanochemistry

The substitution of current chemical technology by synthetic processes which are more sustainable and reduce impact on the nature is of great importance. Diverse approaches are currently being developed. Mechanochemistry, a nonconventional method for inducing the chemical reaction by application of mechanical energy in solid state, has been recognized as beneficial as mechanochemically conducted reactions hold diverse environmental sustainability advantages of manufacturing processes. Organic Mechanochemistry: A New Tool for Sustainable Synthesis bring closer this greener chemical method to broader reading audience and chemical practitioners. Description of the method, followed by examples on sustainability aspects and various fields of application would lead the readers to better understanding and realization of its possibilities.

• Outlines the background of the field, as well as considerations of mechanochemistry
• Expands on green chemistry and sustainable chemistry
• Covers several examples of the implementation of the technique from traditional organic synthesis to catalysis, cocrystals and polymorphism to materials and polymers
