  2. Analytic–synthetic distinction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic–synthetic...

    Given this supposition, it next seems reasonable that in some statements the factual component should be null; and these are the analytic statements. But, for all its a priori reasonableness, a boundary between analytic and synthetic statements simply has not been drawn. That there is such a distinction to be drawn at all is an unempirical ...

  3. Total synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_synthesis

    Total synthesis targets can also be organometallic or inorganic. [5] [6] While total synthesis aims for complete construction from simple starting materials, modifying or partially synthesizing these compounds is known as semisynthesis. Natural product synthesis serves as a critical tool across various scientific fields.

  4. Wikipedia : What SYNTH is not

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_SYNTH_is_not

    In this article, the term SYNTH refers to Wikipedia's policy of forbidding original research by synthesis, and to its forms and nature. SYNTH cautions against original research by synthesis, where an editor combines reliably sourced statements in a way that makes or suggests a new statement not supported by any one of the sources.

  5. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    Examples include the synthesis of ammonium chloride from organic substances as described in the works (c. 850–950) attributed to Jābir ibn Ḥayyān, [4] or the production of mineral acids such as sulfuric and nitric acids by later alchemists, starting from c. 1300. [5]

  6. Chemical synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_synthesis

    Medicine: Organic synthesis plays a vital role in drug discovery, allowing chemists to develop and optimize new drugs by modifying organic molecules. [9] Additionally, the synthesis of metal complexes for medical imaging and cancer treatments is a key application of chemical synthesis, enabling advanced diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. [10]

  7. Heterogeneous catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_catalysis

    For example, the presence of alkali metals in ammonia synthesis increases the rate of N 2 dissociation. [ 23 ] The presence of poisons and promoters can alter the activation energy of the rate-limiting step and affect a catalyst's selectivity for the formation of certain products.

  8. Organic synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_synthesis

    Organic synthesis is an important chemical process that is integral to many scientific fields. Examples of fields beyond chemistry that require organic synthesis include the medical industry, pharmaceutical industry, and many more. Organic processes allow for the industrial-scale creation of pharmaceutical products.

  9. Program synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_synthesis

    In computer science, program synthesis is the task to construct a program that provably satisfies a given high-level formal specification.In contrast to program verification, the program is to be constructed rather than given; however, both fields make use of formal proof techniques, and both comprise approaches of different degrees of automation.
