What are the Challenges in Using Protective Groups?
Although protective groups are invaluable, they come with challenges:
Complexity: Introducing and removing protective groups can add steps to the synthesis, making the process more complex and time-consuming. Side Reactions: Protective groups can sometimes lead to unintended side reactions, which can complicate the purification of the desired nanostructure. Cost: The use of specialized chemicals and additional steps can increase the cost of the synthesis.
