Abstract

Recent advances in catalysis for organic synthesis highlight significant progress across diverse methodologies. This includes innovations in asymmetric organocatalysis, biocatalysis, and light-driven processes like photocatalysis, which enhance enantioselectivity and provide greener synthetic routes. Developments in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and C-H functionalization offer powerful tools for bond formation. Furthermore, sustainable approaches like heterogeneous catalysis and electrocatalysis demonstrate increased efficiency, reduced waste, and novel pathways for complex molecule construction. These collective efforts underscore a global drive towards more selective, efficient, and environmentally conscious chemical synthesis.
