The concentration and strength of basic species are controlled to drive chemical reactions. This enables selective deprotonation and nucleophilic activation in synthetic pathways.
The keywords focus on specific preparation processes for mesoionic pesticides and related intermediates. The underlying technical challenge in these complex multi-step syntheses is typically low reaction efficiency or poor yield of the final bioactive compound.
The focus on specific preparation processes for carboxylic acids and picolinamides indicates that standard chemical routes suffer from inefficient conversion or difficult isolation. Improving these factors reduces waste and production costs in drug intermediate manufacturing.
