Organic Synthesis

The Disconnection Approach

Ranked #27 in Organic Chemistry

One approach to organic synthesis is retrosynthetic analysis. With this approach a chemist will start with the structure of their target molecule and progressively cut bonds to create simpler molecules. Reversing this process gives a synthetic route to the target molecule from simpler starting materials. This "disconnection" approach to synthesis is now a fundamental part of every organic synthesis course. "Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach, 2nd Edition" introduces this important technique, to help students to design their own organic syntheses. There are forty chapters: those on... more
