Abstract

Retrosynthesis is a powerful tool for the synthetic analysis of organic compounds. Although it is a relatively newly proposed idea, it has now been put into wide use. All compounds can have several possible retrosynthetic paths, but the feasibility and practicality of a path is determined by certain concepts and principles. This paper is an introduction to retrosynthesis, starting with basic concepts, reactions, and guiding principles, and proceeding to a detailed guide to basic disconnections categorized with regard to the class of target molecules. This work attempts to provide introductory-level students of organic chemistry with a handbook allowing them to quickly learn to recognize and design basic retrosynthetic strategies.
