On our path to the perfection of organic synthesis lies the challenge of controlling site selectivity, which is the differentiation of reactivity among the same kind of functional groups. Overcoming this challenge would significantly enhance synthetic efficiency and minimize waste production, which in turn calls for the development of new catalysts, reagents, tactics, and innovative strategies.
在追求有机合成完美的道路上,我们面临着控制选择性的挑战,即区分同类型官能团之间的反应性。克服这一挑战将显著提高合成效率,最大限度地减少废物产生,这反过来又需要开发新的催化剂、试剂、策略和创新策略。
