The reactivity-selectivity principle is a concept in organic chemistry that describes the relationship between the reactivity of a chemical species and its selectivity in forming particular products during a chemical reaction. Essentially, it posits that reactions that are more reactive often produce a broader range of products, leading to lower selectivity. Conversely, reactions that have lower reactivity are typically more selective, yielding fewer products.
