👉 A semicatalyst is a catalyst that acts as an intermediate in a chemical reaction, but does not directly catalyze the reaction. It acts by passing electrons or other molecules through the reactant without actually participating in the reaction itself. Semicatalysts are often used in organic synthesis to aid in the formation of intermediates and products during the reaction process. They can be found in a wide range of chemical reactions, including those involving amino acids, amidines, and quaternary ammon
