- Organic SynthesisOrganic synthesis is the making of a target organic compound from available starting materials, usually in several steps.
- Synthetic Routes - Aliphatic CompoundsAliphatic compounds are organic compounds without a benzene ring.
- Synthetic Routes - Aromatic CompoundsAromatic compounds contain a benzene ring.
- Reaction Conditions and ReagentsIn a synthesis question, marks are given for the correct reagent and the correct conditions.
- Designing Multi-Step SynthesesAQA questions can ask you to devise a synthesis of up to four steps.
- Reducing Steps and Hazardous SolventsWhen chemists plan a synthesis for industry, making the right product is only part of the job.
