Ball milling, microwave heating and ultrasound irradiation can be used to support conventional laboratory techniques. By applying them, a number of organocatalytic processes could be improved and superior results have been achieved compared to reactions performed under standard conditions. The purpose of this overview is to highlight recent advances by presenting selected examples.
