Hydrogenation of different carbon substrates into light hydrocarbons by ball milling.

The radical mechanism The fact that essentially any carbon-containing material seems to be hydrogenated to light hydrocarbons under ball milling is highly significant, both for its practical implications and for fundamental reasons, since such broad reactivity in hydrogenations at fairly mild conditions for solid substrates, compared to earlier attempts, which focus on one class of substrates, often under harsh conditions 36 – 39 , had never been observed.
