>>11828577>All the progress in organic chemistry is driven by the work outside of it. What do you mean by "progress in organic chemistry"?
The days of making huge leaps in organic chemistry as a whole like B12 synthesis are probably past us, sure. Organic synthesis is now pretty well established and most target molecules are reachable with current methods. What's left is optimisation and application.
>Pharmaceutical drug discovery process is notoriously inefficient and drugs that don't get rejected are of questionable use, most of the time.Well sure it's often inefficient, although there is work being put in to overcome this. Whether it's computational chemistry, dynamic combinatorial chemistry or whatever else that gets us there is hard to say. It's not a stagnant field in that regard.
Thing is, none of this really answers the question as to why you think it's a pseudoscience.
