This article is about artificial synthesis of organic compounds. For the journal, see Organic Syntheses. For synthesis in organisms, see Biosynthesis.
Organic synthesis is a branch of chemical synthesis concerned with the construction of organic compounds. Organic compounds are molecules consisting of combinations of covalently-linked hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. Within the general subject of organic synthesis, there are many different types of synthetic routes that can be completed including total synthesis,[1] stereoselective synthesis,[2] automated synthesis,[3] and many more. Additionally, in understanding organic synthesis it is necessary to be familiar with the methodology, techniques, and applications of the subject.
