Click chemistry
Approach to chemical synthesis using highly favorable reactions involving components fitted with appropriate functional groups, which tolerates many functional groups that might complicate other coupling processes
Click chemistry is an approach to chemical synthesis that is used to join two molecules. The application of the term, click, as a qualifier to the type of chemistry refers to an emphasis on efficiency and simplicity.
From Wikipedia
Click chemistry is an approach to chemical synthesis that is used to join two molecules. The application of the term, click, as a qualifier to the type of chemistry refers to an emphasis on efficiency and simplicity. To link two molecular components, each is first fitted with appropriate functional groups, such as azide and alkyne groups. These components are then "clicked" together in a process that is highly favorable and which tolerates many functional groups that might complicate other coupling processes.
