The aim of this course is introduction of the disconnection approach to organic synthesis. This approach is analytical: we start with the molecule we want to make (the target molecule) and break it down by a series of disconnections into possible starting materials. During the course, the retrosynthetic method is shown on simple as well as on more complicated structures which are known from practical life: pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, perfumes etc.
