Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:

• appreciate the challenge of synthesis
• work forwards and backwards to devise a synthetic route
• use the reactions of functional groups to interconvert them and devise ways of making new compounds

• Chapters 16, 18, 19, 21, 22 and 23 (in Blackman, Bottle, Schmid, Mocerino and Wille, Chemistry, 3^rd Edition, 2015 (John Wiley))
