Mechanochemistry: Working toward a sustainable future
24 Mar 2023Mechanochemistry offers fast reactions in a solvent-free environment. Mass productivities often exceed the solvent-based reaction equivalents, and the work-up procedures are generally easier. In this application note, explore how mechanochemistry has gained traction in different disciplines and it's advantages compared to solvent-based processes. Mechanochemistry has shown the ability to transfer staple reactions like C-C couplings, oxidations, reductions and pericyclic reactions into ball mills.

Medicinal ChemistryMedicinal chemistry is a broad discipline encompassing the design, identification, synthesis and development of chemicals in drug discovery. It includes a number of techniques covering structural biology, synthetic chemistry and molecular biology. Technologies used in medicinal chemistry include ADME, lab-on-a-chip, high content screening and assay assembly.Process ChemistryProcess chemistry is an important stage of drug development for scaling-up drug production or chemical synthesis reactions. It is useful for optimizing economical and efficient drug production. Process chemistry uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Reaction MonitoringSustainabilitySustainability in research and industry focuses on reducing environmental impact, conserving resources, and promoting long-term ecological balance. Innovations in sustainable practices include renewable energy, waste reduction, and eco-friendly materials.
