Devising a Synthesis Reaction Sequence
Create a problem by selecting a problem number and pressing the Show
Problem button. A starting compound and a desired product will be
displayed in the drawing window, separated by an arrow and a question mark.
Specific commentary will be presented in the information window
beneath.
A selection of eight reagents and reaction conditions are provided to the
right of the formula window. Using these reagents, you are challenged to
combine them in two or more steps that will accomplish this conversion. To
do so select a reagent for the first step and press the Do Reaction
button to have it evaluated. The product from this reaction will be
displayed in the formula window, and specific instructions for further
steps will be given in the information window.
