Organocatalysts

Organocatalysis refers to the process of using organic molecules as catalysts to accelerate chemical reactions without permanent changes after the reaction. Unlike traditional metal catalysts (such as transition metal catalysts), organocatalysts are usually composed of light elements (such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, boron, etc.) and can play a catalytic role under milder conditions. In recent years, organocatalysis has become an important field in chemical research and industrial applications, especially in green chemistry and sustainable development.
