The short time synthesis is characterized by high yields and comparable with the similar mechano-chemical process of planetary ball-milling. Easy isolation of the products without involving separation methods makes this green synthesis to be cost-efficient. © 2021, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. %Z cited By 1
