Synthesis Route Planning/Evidence
Method evidence record

Synthesis Route Planning

Synthesis route planning, grounded in retrosynthetic analysis, is a strategic approach to designing efficient chemical syntheses. Formalized by Elias James Corey in the 1960s (earning him the Nobel Prize in 1990), this methodology systematically deconstructs target molecules into simpler precursors and starting materials, enabling chemists to discover logical, economical, and practical synthesis routes.
