Synthetic organic chemistry, What is API Synthesis?

SYNTHETIC ORGANIC CHEMISTRY is related to chemical science involving in the construction of specific chemical compounds from simple compounds. The process permits the synthesis of naturally occurring compounds with an actual structure or once needed with structural variations to enhance desired characteristics.

Synthetic Organic Compounds  

Synthetic organic compounds are another class of man-made contaminants that may be present in groundwater. Collectively, this group includes herbicides, pesticides, and other chemicals that come from agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, or industrial activities.

Stereoselective synthesis 

Most complex natural products are chiral, and the bioactivity of chiral molecules varies with the enantiomer. Historically, total synthesis targeted racemic mixtures, a mixture of both possible enantiomers, after which the racemic mixture might then be separated via chiral resolution.

In the latter half of the twentieth century, chemists began to develop methods of stereoselective catalysis and kinetic resolution whereby reactions could be directed to produce only one enantiomer rather than a racemic mixture.    

Total synthesis  

Total synthesis is the complete chemical synthesis of a complex molecule, often a natural product, from simple, commercially-available precursors. It usually refers to a process not involving the aid of biological processes, which distinguishes it from semisynthesis. The target molecules can be natural products, medicinally important active ingredients, or organic compounds of theoretical interest. 

What is Organic Synthesis used for? 

Fine chemicals used as fuels, pesticides and herbicides, diagnostics and medical devices, vitamins, perfumes, cosmetics, and all sorts of high-technology materials used in televisions, computers and other information technologies, and transportation and space machines are also the products of organic synthesis.

The importance of synthetic chemistry in the pharmaceutical industry

Chemical synthesis plays an important role in pharmaceutical research and development. Campos et al. review some of the advantages that have come from recent innovations in synthetic methods. In particular, they highlight small-molecule catalysts stimulate by visible light, enzymes engineered for versatility beyond their intrinsic function, and bio-orthogonal reactions to selectively modify proteins for conjugation.

What is the goal of synthetic chemistry?

The principal objective of synthetic chemistry that goes beyond simplify finding and synthesizing naturally existing compounds is about generating new materials meet the rising demand for human activity. 

Can organic compounds be synthesized in a lab? 

The organic compound can only be synthesized in living organisms. Organic compounds synthesized in the laboratory have the same chemical and physical properties as those synthesized in living organisms. Chemists have synthesized many organic compounds that are not found in nature.  

What is APIs synthesis?

The synthesis of APIs is usually a complicated and multi-step process involving numerous chemical transformations and operations on a range of raw materials with different physical and chemical properties. Specialized expertise is needed to achieve the synthesis of these molecules.
