Chemists synthesize compounds in just about every organic chemistry laboratory in the world.
Industrial chemists synthesize pharmaceuticals, polymers (plastics), pesticides, dye stuffs, food
colorings and flavorings, perfumes, detergents and disinfectants.
Research chemists synthesize natural products whose structure is uncertain, compounds for
mechanistic investigations, possible intermediate in chemical and biological processes,
thousands of potential drugs used in medical practice, and even compounds which might
themselves be useful for organic syntheses.
Before and during these syntheses, groups of chemists sitting around blackboards or piles of
paper plan the work they are about to undertake. Possible routes are drawn out, criticized,
modified again when the behavior of the compounds in the flask turns out to be different from
what was expected, until finally success is achieved.
The aim of this lecture is to show how this planning is done: to help you learn the disconnection
or synthon approach to organic synthesis.
This approach is analytical: we start with the molecule we want to make (the target molecule)
and break it down by a series of disconnection into possible starting materials.

4.
Define the target molecule
Recognize the functional groups in the target molecule
Disconnect using as a guide methods corresponding to known reactions
Repeat the Retrosynthetic Analysis till you reach available starting materials
•
SYNTHESIS
1. Write down a synthetic scheme based in the Retrosynthetic Analysis adding
reagents and reaction conditions.
2. If the synthesis fails, modify the synthetic scheme based on the
failures/successes in the laboratory experiments.
SYNTHONS AND REAGENTS
•
During the retrosynthetic analysis of compound 2 the retrosynthetic cleavage (or
disconnection) leads to a nucleophile(-) and an electrophile (+). The correct
alternative, based in known chemical transformations, is in this case leading to 3 and 4.

Mechanistic Principles
1.
Michael products are the thermodynamic products since the more stable C=O
bond is preserved and the weaker C=C bond reacts.
2.
Direct addition is more easily reversed than the Michael addition. Therefore, the
more stable the Nucleophile the more the Michael addition is favored.
3.
Kinetically the C=O carbon is the hard site and the beta carbon is the soft one.
Therefore, RLI, NH2-, RO-, H-, attack on the carbonyl and RMgBr, R3N, RS-, and
stable carbanions tend to give the Michael type products.

Guideline 1: When the two groups are of unequal reactivity, the more reactive can be
made to react alone.

reaction is successful only when the first product is less
reactive that the starting material.
