...A chemical synthesis begins by selection of compounds that are known as reagents or reactants. Various reaction types can be applied to these to synthesize the product, or an intermediate product. This requires mixing the compounds in a reaction vessel such as a chemical reactor or a simple round-bottom flask. Many reactions require some form of work-up procedure before the final product is isolated Vogel, A.I., Tatchell, A.R., Furnis, B.S., Hannaford, A.J. and P.W.G. Smith. Vogel's Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry, 5th Edition. Prentice Hall, 1996. ISBN 0582462363.. The amount of product in a chemical synthesis is the reaction yield. Typically, chemical yields are expressed as a weight in grams or as a percentage of the total theoretical quantity of product that could be produced. A side reaction is an unwanted chemical reaction taking place that diminishes the yield of the desired product. Read full entry

What is the chemical synthesis I'm supposed to determine
Boron compounds neccesary to
be intermediate steps for drug
creation and at least describe
the chemical synthesis
required to create the many
drugs for pharmaceutical
companies.
I don't understand though...at
all.
I just need a help, you don't
want to give me the answer if
you dont want to. I'm just
confused =/

The answer you're looking for is Suzuki coupling reactions, using organoboronic acids and a palladium catalyst. |

Why is chemical synthesis People, please help me with
this question.
Please bear in mind that this
is about L-amino acid chemical
synthesis problem, not
polypeptide synthesis.
Thank you so much for any
help.
Please be as detail as
possible since this is one of
the question for my big
assignment ^_^

or even better if you know the
source that can provide me
with a detailed answer to this
question I would appreciate it
very much.

If you chemically make amino acids you will get both L and D versions. Biological systems can build molecules and control this, however in a purely chemical system you cant control the chirality of the products. This results in a mixture of enantiomers that are hard to purify since they have the same chemical, but may have very different biological properties. Most living things use L-amino acids. So simply put its far easier, cheaper, and safer to grow up a batch of yeast or something and extract the L-amino acids. |

In green chemistry, how does You know how it says to design
methods that use and generate
substances with little or no
toxicity to humans and the
environments?
What exactly does the
principle mean, and what is an
example of its use in
industry?

One example has been the replacement of amalgam cells (mercury containing) with polymer membranes in chloralkali plants. Green chemistry has an obvious effect on the chemical industry. In order for new processes developed by chemists, chemical engineers, and industrial engineers to have any effect, they must actually be used by the chemical industry. Such new processes are sometimes more expensive than older ones, and so industry is often reluctant to introduce such changes without regulatory pressure or pressure from its customers for safer products. |
