Frontiers in Organic Chemistry: From Reaction Mechanisms to Molecular Design

Abstract

The field of organic chemistry is developing as one of the key areas of contemporary science serving as a connection between the mechanistic knowledge and the molecular design and usability. The current review outlines the most important developments between reaction mechanisms and catalytic approaches, green and sustainable techniques, and new technologies like machine learning and automated synthesis. The accurate control of reactivity is possible with the help of mechanistic insights, whereas complex molecules can be construscted with high efficiency with the help of catalysis and functionalization. Greener strategies reduce environmental impact and computer aided technologies are faster in predictive design. Collectively, these trends broaden the horizons of organic chemistry, with the growth and development of innovation in the pharmaceuticals, materials, and energy field. The future directions are on the emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration, predictive modeling, and the use of environmentally friendly chemical practices.
