Popis: The fundamental differences between catalyzed and induced (initiated) reactions and some terminological problems that exist in this field are considered. In particular, illegitimacy of using terms such as “catalytically induced (initiated) reactions”, “expendable catalystrd, and “catalytic additive” is discussed. For non-catalyzed transformations, including conjugated (in particular, multicomponent) and chain reactions, the term self-developing reaction (SDR) is proposed. The criterion of SDR is a high current yield (electrogeneration) or high quantum yield (photoinitiation) of target products; in the case of chemical induction of SDR, a substantially lower consumption of the inductor than required by the reaction stoichiometry can serve as such criterion.
