Diversity-oriented synthesis

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003358",
  "term": "Diversity-oriented synthesis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A synthetic chemistry strategy that aims to produce a collection of structurally different small molecules from a common starting material or intermediate. The approach uses branching reaction pathways to rapidly generate molecular complexity and explore a broad area of chemical space. This method contrasts with target-oriented synthesis, which focuses on creating a single, specific molecular structure.",
