Reaction selectivity is crucial for several reasons:
Efficiency: High selectivity reduces the formation of undesired by-products, making the process more efficient. Cost-effectiveness: Selective reactions require fewer purification steps, lowering production costs. Sustainability: Reducing by-products and waste contributes to greener and more sustainable chemical processes. Product Quality: High selectivity ensures that the desired product is obtained in higher purity, which is essential in pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.
