One-Pot Synthesis refers to a chemical synthesis process in which multiple reactants undergo a sequence of reactions in a single reaction vessel, without the need for isolating intermediates or transferring products between different vessels. This approach aims to simplify the synthetic procedure, improve efficiency, and reduce the time and resources required for a chemical reaction. One-pot synthesis is particularly valuable in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry, where it allows for the simultaneous formation of multiple bonds or functional groups in a streamlined manner. By minimizing handling and purification steps, one-pot methods can lead to higher overall yields and reduced waste, making them attractive for both laboratory and industrial applications.
The Tokyo University of Science has developed a transformative technique in molecular synthesis, condensing a complex multi-step process into a streamlined three-step method. This innovation utilizes a platform molecule with…
