Retrosynthetic analysis breaks down a complex target molecule into simpler structures along a pathway, ultimately leading to identification of a commercially available starting material. This technique plans a synthesis in reverse by reducing the target into progressively less complex structures. Guidelines provide general rules and advice for conducting retrosynthetic analysis, such as examples.

planning a synthesis, whereby the complex
target molecule is reduced into a sequence of
progressively simpler structures along a
pathway which ultimately leads to the
identification of a simple or commercially
available starting material from which a
chemical synthesis can then be developed
