Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to act as a fundamental guideline covering the starting retrosynthesis concepts and to incorporate some of the essential skills and knowledge for new starters in designing a retrosynthesis plan. The retrosynthesis approaches such as fine tuning and various group disconnections are presented before showing a full and detailed retrosynthesis analysis example.
