Pioneering Solid-State Organic Synthetic Chemistry Using Mechanochemical Methods
Koji Kubota, Associate Professor, Department of Engineering, Hokkaido University,
  • Internal Event

Dr. Kubota has pioneered solid-state organic synthetic mechanochemistry by utilizing innovative solid-state ball-milling techniques. His research group has developed conceptually new synthetic strategies that leverage the solvent-free environment of ball milling, enabling new solid-state molecular transformations with remarkable efficiency and sustainability. His findings highlight the transformative potential of mechanochemistry in solid-state cross-coupling, mechanoredox catalysis, bulk-state metal activation, and mechanoradical chemistry with polymers
