Discussion

Experiments reveal solvents minimally impact reaction rates in thermochemical processes, suggesting reconsideration of their necessity.

Presence of solvents shows minimal influence on the efficiency of thermochemical reactions, indicating they may not be essential.
Yield fluctuation range was observed between -13% and 19% across solvent presence and absence in reactions.
Analysis across 22 classic organic reactions established that solvent-free conditions yield comparable results in specific scenarios.
Implications suggest that understanding solvents' roles may lead to more efficient chemical practices, affecting experimental design.

Wang et al. (2025) studied this question.
