3.3.14 Organic synthesis (A-level only)

The formation of new organic compounds by multi-step syntheses using reactions included in the specification is covered in this section.

Content	Opportunities for skills development
$The synthesis of an organic compound can involve several steps. Students should be able to: explain why chemists aim to design processes that do not require a solvent and that use non-hazardous starting materials explain why chemists aim to design production methods with fewer steps that have a high percentage atom economy use reactions in this specification to devise a synthesis, with up to four steps, for an organic compound.$
