Beauties of synthesis
Article Abstract:
Chemists could impress their peers by pursuing strategies no one else noticed, by using original sequences of previously disparate reactions, or by developing new reactions that enable them to construct bonds in an unexpected way as chemists design their syntheses by looking at target molecule and working backwards towards simpler starting materials. They save millions of dollars for their companies, and could reduce the environmental impact of the synthesis by minimizing the amounts of waste produced or the quantities of solvents required.
