Willstatter’s synthesis of tropine
Robinson’s synthesis of tropinone in 1917
The Robinson’s synthesis of tropinone was hailed as revolutionary. This was to look at the target molecule and try to imagine how the molecule could be constructed from simpler chemical units.

Some of the Complex Molecules Made by Woodward
“There is excitement, adventure, and challenge, and there can be great art in organic synthesis.” - Woodward

Corey, Elias James1928–, b. Methuen, Mass., grad. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (B.S. 1948, Ph.D. 1951). In 1990, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Some prostaglandins affect human blood pressure at concentrations as low as 0.1 microgram per kilogram of body weight. Substances that inhibit prostaglandin synthesis may be useful in controlling pain, asthma attacks, and anaphylactic shock and in reducing the clotting ability of blood.
Prostaglandins
“The organic chemist is more than a logician and strategist; he is an explorer strongly influenced to speculate, to imagine, and even to create.” - Corey

Retrosynthetic Analysis by Corey
Retrosynthetic analysis (or retrosynthesis) : the process of mentally breaking down a molecule into starting materialsRetrosynthetic arrow: an open-ended arrow, , used to indicate the reverse of a synthetic reactionSynthon: idealized fragments resulting from a disconnection. Synthons need to be replaced by reagents in a suggested synthesis

Louis Pasteur Chemist
1822-1895
“Chance favors only prepared mind.” -Louis Pasteur
Louis Pasteur was born on December 27, 1822 in Dole, in the region of Jura, France.
Resolution of enantiomersin 1848
Twenty years later, J. H. van’t Hoff and J.-A. Le Bel independently explained the origins of enantiomers based on the tetrahedral nature of carbon bonding.

Resolutiondiastereomeric salts seperation by selective crystallization or some other means
Once separated, acidification of the two diastereomeric salts with strong acid gives pure enantiomers and recover the chiral amine.

in early 1990s, Bob Grubbs at California Institute of Technology
Olefin metathesis
- for some time had been used for synthesis of polymers but had been overlooked by organic chemists
- alkenes are one of the most important building block- abundant in nature's chemicals: vitamin A, quinine, chlorophyll- manmade organic chemicals: pharmaceuticals, perfumes, flavoring
