Understandings
Understandings
• The synthesis of an organic compound stems from a readily available starting material via a series of discrete steps. Functional group interconversions are the basis of such synthetic routes.
• Retro-synthesis of organic compounds.
Applications and skills
Applications and skills
• Deduction of multi-step synthetic routes given starting reagents and the product(s).
Guidance
Guidance
• Conversions with more than four stages will not be assessed in synthetic routes.
• Reaction types can cover any of the reactions covered in topic 10 and sub-topic 20.1.
