Mechanochemical production of an allyl potassium / calcium complex that polymerizes isoprene at room temperature. Without solvents present, the often far‐from‐equilibrium environment in a mechanochemically driven synthesis can generate high‐energy, non‐stoichiometric products not observed from the same ratio of reagents used in solution.

Mechanochemical synthesis avoids the use of potentially harmful organic solvents, thus providing an attractive and environmentally friendly alternative to solution-based synthesis. Mechanochemical cross-coupling reactions enable cleaner and more sustainable access to a wide range of valuable synthetic targets in organic materials and modern drug discovery.
