reaction design

Reaction design is the process of designing chemical reactions in order to achieve specific goals, such as increasing yield or selectivity, reducing waste, or improving reaction rates. This involves understanding the reaction mechanism, identifying the key reaction steps and intermediates, optimizing reaction conditions, and selecting appropriate catalysts or reactants. Reaction design is important in many fields, including chemical synthesis, materials science, and drug discovery, and is often aided by computational tools such as molecular modeling and machine learning.
