Ref: Elias James Corey brought a more formal approach to synthesis design based on
retrosynthesis analysis for which he won the noble prize for chemistry in 1990.

Total
Synthesis
Methodology
A total synthesis is the complete chemical synthesis of complex organic molecules from
simple, commercially available (petrochemical) or natural precursors. The choice of
target molecule is the starting of synthesis.
The target molecule can be synthesized in a series of steps which are performed one
after another until the molecule is made is called as linear synthesis. It is applied for
the synthesis of simple structure molecules. The chemical compounds made in each
step are usually referred to as synthetic intermediate.
For the synthesis of more complex molecules, convergent synthesis is often preferred.
In this synthesis, several key intermediates are synthesized separately and then coupled
together to give final product.
The father of modern organic synthesis is regarded as Robert Burns Woodward who
received Nobel Price for chemistry in 1965 for several brilliant examples of total
synthesis such as synthesis of strychnine in 1954.

During the synthesis, a stereochemistry of a product try to maintain along with regio- and
stereo-control is important during this functional group modification.
