Synthesis of organic compounds

The synthesis of organic compounds involves creating complex molecules from simpler starting materials through chemical reactions. Chemists design specific pathways to connect atoms and functional groups, building molecules with desired properties. This process often uses catalysts, heat, or other conditions to control reactions precisely. Synthesis is essential for manufacturing pharmaceuticals, plastics, and other materials, enabling the development of new products and understanding of chemical processes. Overall, it’s a strategic way to assemble organic molecules systematically and efficiently in a controlled laboratory setting.
