Heteroatomity refers to the presence of atoms other than carbon and hydrogen in an organic molecule. These non-carbon atoms, known as heteroatoms, include elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine). The incorporation of heteroatoms significantly influences the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds, affecting reactivity, solubility, biological activity, and structural diversity.
Heteroatoms play crucial roles in various functional groups, which are specific groups of atoms within molecules
The presence of heteroatoms can alter the polarity of a molecule, enhancing solubility in water or other
In natural products and synthetic compounds, heteroatomity is widespread. For instance, proteins contain nitrogen in amino
