Discover 500+ organic reactions and 400+ total synthesis examples, organized by functional groups for easy browsing and inspiration.
SynStrategy is a new app for anyone studying or working in organic synthesis. The key feature is the categorization of both named and unnamed reactions according to the functional groups they form, helping students and practitioners navigate the vast landscape of organic transformations.
The app features 27 main functional group categories, and each category is further subdivided (for example, Alcohols include primary-, secondary-, tertiary-, allylic-, homoallylic alcohols, etc.). This structured organization is designed to give chemists a clearer view of available transformations during synthetic or retrosynthetic analysis. SynStrategy currently includes over 500 transformations, with their synthetic usecases highlighted in more than 400 total synthesis examples.
Summary:
- Named and unnamed reactions, categorized by functional group
- Over 500 transformtions
- Over 400 total synthesis examples
There are countless exceptional total syntheses and synthetically relevant methodologies in the literature and we aim to grow the selection in this app over time. You have a particular reaction or total synthesis example you would like to see added or you just need support? E-Mail us!
