infoWhy this? Organic synthesis combines functional groups, reagents, conditions, and mechanisms to design routes between compounds. Evaluating alternative pathways and selecting methods for preparation, purification, and identification develops purposeful chemical problem-solving and practical judgement.

scheduleWhy now? Placed last, this unit draws on the full range of organic reactions and analytical techniques already studied. We can now plan multistep routes, justify reaction choices, and use chemical and spectroscopic evidence to assess whether the intended product has been obtained.
