Mechanoradical-Driven C-H Halogenation and Nitration of Arenes and Vicinal Dibromination of Alkenes in the Solid-State

Key Points

• A solvent-free mechanochemical approach enables effective C–H halogenation and nitration of arenes.
• In-situ-generated mechanoradicals oxidize halide or nitrite salts, facilitating radical reactions.
• The methodology showcases solid-state reactions for efficient functionalization of organic compounds.
• This approach highlights the potential of mechanochemistry for green and sustainable synthetic processes.
