Retrosynthesis or retrosynthetic analysis is a strategy for planning an organic synthesis by disconnecting a target molecule into precursor materials. This steps are repeated until available starting materials are reached.
The retrosynthetic analysis is not a synthesis form of organic chemistry, but an analytical approach based on the desired product. The target molecule is broken down into smaller and smaller fragments. The actual synthesis can then be designed based on the retrosynthetic analysis.
The method of retrosynthetic analysis is very effective, but it requires a great knowledge of chemical compounds, classes of compounds, chemical reactions, reaction conditions etc.
Below you will find online available information resources on retrosynthesis and retrosynthetic analysis.
