             abstract = "This paper presents a review of ideas that interconnect 
                         astrochemistry and galactic dynamics. Since these two areas are 
                         vast and not recent, each one has already been covered separately 
                         by several reviews. After a general historical introduction, and a 
                         needed quick review of processes such as stellar nucleosynthesis 
                         that gives the base to understand the interstellar formation of 
                         simple chemical compounds (e.g., H-2, GO, NH3, and H2O), we focus 
                         on a number of topics that are at the crossing of the two big 
                         areas, dynamics and astrochemistry. Astrochemistry is a 
                         flourishing field that intends to study the presence and formation 
                         of molecules as well as the influence of them on the structure, 
                         evolution, and dynamics of astronomical objects. The progress in 
                         the knowledge on the existence of new complex molecules and of 
                         their process of formation originates from the observational, 
                         experimental, and theoretical areas that compose the field. The 
                         interfacing areas include star formation, protoplanetary disks, 
                         the role of the spiral arms, and the chemical abundance gradients 
                         in the galactic disk. It often happens that the physical 
                         conditions in some regions of the interstellar medium are only 
                         revealed by means of molecular observations. To organize a rough 
                         classification of chemical evolution processes, we discuss about 
                         how astrochemistry can act in three different contexts, namely, 
                         the chemistry of the early universe, including external galaxies, 
                         star-forming regions, and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and 
                         circumstellar envelopes. We mention that our research is 
                         stimulated by plans for instruments and projects, such as the 
                         ongoing Large Latin American Millimeter Array (LLAMA), which 
                         consists in the construction of a 12 m sub-mm radio telescope in 
                         the Andes. Thus, modern and new facilities can play a key role in 
                         new discoveries not only in astrochemistry but also in radio 
                         astronomy and related areas. Furthermore, the research on the 
                         origin of life is also a stimulating perspective.",
