Pilot operated mechanisms are important because they can:
1. Enhance Reaction Control: By using a pilot step to initiate the main reaction, chemists can exert greater control over the reaction conditions, such as temperature and pressure. 2. Improve Selectivity and Yield: These mechanisms can help in achieving higher selectivity towards the desired product and improve the overall yield of the reaction. 3. Reduce Energy Consumption: Initiating the reaction with a smaller pilot step can lower the energy input required for the main catalytic process.
