Because most bioactive compounds are chiral, many pharmaceuticals are produced by enantioselective catalysis ( catalytic asymmetric synthesis ).

Because the carbonyl group interacts with water by hydrogen bonding, ketones are typically more soluble in water than the related methylene compounds.

Because of its high reactivity, lithium never occurs freely in nature, and instead, only appears in compounds, which are usually ionic.

Because of its cost and radioactivity, experimental chemical research is seldom performed with radon, and as a result there are very few reported compounds of radon, all either fluorides or oxides.

Because of its extreme reactivity with oxygen and water, this element occurs naturally only in compounds with other elements, such as in the minerals strontianite and celestite.

Because tungsten is rare and its compounds are generally inert, the effects of tungsten on the environment are limited.

Because the compounds in valerian produce central nervous system depression, they should not be used with other depressants, such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, opiates, or antihistamine drugs.
