Organic synthesis methodologies

Organic chemistry is inextricably linked to the development of new synthetic reactions and methodologies, in order to achieve new structural motifs that are difficult to access, or to exploit new reactivities. The "ideal" reaction, a concept theorized in the 1970s, would have 100% virtuous characteristics (maximum efficiency, zero environmental impact and zero cost), a goal more necessary than ever today. Methodological studies are therefore aimed at discovering new, original and efficient reactions or reactivities, which can be applied to the synthesis of molecules of interest, and more finely studied to understand reactivity.
