Planning and Execution of Multistep Syntheses

In Sections 10.1 and 10.2, Protective Groups and Synthetic Equivalent Groups, we will consider ways of temporarily modifying functional groups that would interfere with reactions at other points in the molecule. In Section 10.3, Asymmetric Syntheses, we will illustrate how stereochemistry at one point in a molecule can influence the stereochemical outcome of reactions at other points. In Section 10.4, Synthetic Strategy, we will illustrate the planning and execution of multistep syntheses, using examples from the recent literature.
