Abstract

It has been shown that solventless reactions are accelerated when the reactants are mixed at molecular level. Accordingly, a solid film obtained by evaporating a solution of reactants mixture underwent facile reaction either upon grinding or upon simply standing. The effectiveness of these methods is evident from comparison with conventional solventless and solution reactions. It was concluded consequently that, once the molecular-level ...
