Mechanochemistry–the utilization of mechanical forces to induce chemical reactions–is a
rarely considered tool for polymer synthesis. It offers numerous advantages such as reduced …

Mechanochemistry uses mechanical force to break, form, and manipulate chemical bonds to
achieve functional transformations and syntheses. Over the last years, many innovative …

Birch reduction has been widely used in organic synthesis for over half a century as a
powerful method to dearomatize arenes into 1, 4‐cyclohexadiene derivatives. However, the …

In sharp contrast to the use of conventional magnesium‐based Grignard reagents (R− MgX),
the application of calcium‐based heavy Grignard reagents (R− CaX) in organic synthesis …

Since the discovery of Grignard reagents in 1900, the nucleophilic addition of magnesium-
