Organocatalysis is the process of using organic molecules to catalyze chemical reactions. Some synonyms for organocatalysis include molecular catalysis, bioinspired catalysis, and enzyme-mimetic catalysis. Molecular catalysis is similar to organocatalysis, but can also refer to inorganic molecules being used to catalyze reactions. Bioinspired catalysis refers to the process of designing catalysts based on biological systems, while enzyme-mimetic catalysis specifically refers to using organic molecules that mimic the function of enzymes in catalyzing reactions. These synonyms all describe different aspects or applications of organocatalysis, but all involve the use of organic molecules to facilitate chemical reactions.
