This is part of the HSC Chemistry course under the topic of Chemical Synthesis and Design. In this post, we evaluate the factors that need to be considered when designing a chemical synthesis process, including but not limited to:
- Availability of reagents
- Reaction conditions
- Yield and purity
- Industrial uses (eg pharmaceutical, cosmetics, cleaning products, fuels)
- Environmental, social and economic issues
Introduction to Organic Synthesis
A video about organic synthesis, and how it is used in everyday life and industry processes.
