Organic chemistry poses a great stereochemical variability due to isoforms. Thus there is an infinite possibility of interactions, making a complex organic chemical system difficult to reach equillibrium.
In such a complex system, in the long term only the reactions with sustainability will prevail and exist in the final mixture.
But isn't life actually a sum of self-sustaining chemical system?
In other words, what is the difference between chemistry and biology? Are they the same thing?

Biology is associated with organic molecules - proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates are all organic molecules. Chemistry is the study of both organic and inorganic matter. Chemistry is not the same as biology, as biology is the study of life, and the fundamental unit of life is the cell.

I don't fully understand your question:

Is life evolved and selected chemistry?

What does that mean?
