Sterically induced reduction
Okay kiddo, imagine you are holding a big bag of toys and you want to put it into a small toy box. But the box is too small for the bag to fit, so you have to figure out how to make the bag smaller. One way is to squish it down so it takes up less space, right?
Well, sometimes tiny molecules have trouble fitting into a bigger space because they have big parts that stick out, kind of like the toys in the bag. But scientists have figured out a way to squish these molecules down too! This process is called sterically induced reduction.
Basically, scientists use other molecules with flat or straight shapes that can squish the bigger molecule down and make it fit into the smaller space. It's kind of like you using your hands to push the toys down in the bag to make it fit better in the toy box.
This process is really important in chemistry because it helps us understand how different molecules react with each other and can lead to new discoveries in medicine and other fields. So even though it might seem like a silly game of toys, it's actually very useful for grown-up scientists!
