Ecological points of view must nowadays be taken into consideration in the development of new syntheses and apportioned due importance in assessing the viability of a new synthesis. A crucial factor here is the need to restrict the use of ecologically harmful organic solvents. Examples are presented which show that solvent‐free reactions are not only of interest from an environmental viewpoint, but also offer considerable advantages in terms of yield, selectivity, and simplicity of the reaction procedures.
