... during synthesis catalysts for reaction pathways focused on ultrahigh selectivity, higher molecularity, higher regiospecificity and stereospecificity, and asymmetric and chiral synthesis Vision 2020 also noted significant changes in the "supply side" of the chemical industry, including reduced time-to-market for new products, shorter production schedules, shorter delivery time, and improved logistics for delivery. Many of these changes are the direct result of new technologies, such as new computer hardware and software, ant!
