Siirtokatalyysijärjestelmien
Siirtokatalyysi, a Finnish term that translates to "transfer catalysis," refers to a class of chemical reactions where a catalyst facilitates the transfer of a specific group, atom, or fragment from one molecule to another. This process is distinct from direct catalysis, where the catalyst itself participates in the chemical transformation without being consumed or permanently altered. In transfer catalysis, the catalyst acts as a shuttle, mediating the movement of a species between a donor and an acceptor molecule.
Common examples of transfer catalysis involve the transfer of hydrogen atoms, alkyl groups, or acyl groups.
Transfer catalysis offers several advantages. It can be particularly useful when traditional methods of group transfer
