RETROSYNTHESIS:
TARGET MOLECULE
The target molecule of a synthetic project can be selected under a wide variety of necessities:
1) Industrial important compounds.
2) Compounds of theoretical interest.
3) Structure proofing.
4) Development of new synthetic methodology.
5) Compounds important to other areas of science and technology.
Industrial important compounds
Such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavors, dyes, cosmetics, monomers, polymers and many more...
.
To investigate reaction mechanisms, kinetics, thermodynamics, conformer stability, proof of molecular concept, or any other aspect where your imagination drives you to...
.
While spectroscopy and crystallography are used to determine molecular structures, unambiguous total synthesis is still important.
Development of new methodology
New pathways to making molecules, improvement of existing methods, ways of doing what was previously impossible.
...to boldly go where no one has gone before...
Other areas of science and technology
Materials with special applications; molecular switches, non-linear optics, nanotechnology and a long etc.
