Several strategies can be employed to mitigate off target effects:
Catalyst Design: Designing catalysts with high specificity and stability can reduce unintended interactions. Reaction Optimization: Fine-tuning reaction conditions (e.g., temperature, pressure, solvent) can minimize off target effects. Purification: Removing impurities from catalysts and reactants can prevent unintended reactions. Inhibitors: Adding specific inhibitors can block unwanted active sites on the catalyst. Post-Reaction Treatment: Implementing purification steps post-reaction to separate and remove undesired by-products.
