Organic synthesis involves strategies for making compounds from readily available starting materials by one or more steps. The heart of organic synthesis is designing synthetic routes to a molecule. A systematic approach for designing a synthetic route to a target molecule is to use an intellectual exercise called a retrosynthetic analysis, which can determine the reactions and starting materials needed.
