Organic synthesis is the preparation and creation of organic compounds for use in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and other molecules. The synthesis of molecules having multiple functional groups often requires the use of 'protective groups' to achieve site selectivity in a chemical reaction within a molecule bearing multiple sites of reactivity. Protective groups are installed temporarily to prevent unwanted reactions at a particular site, while transforming a different functional group. Once they have served their function, they are removed to expose the original group. Without a thorough understanding of the methods required to install and remove them, the design of a synthesis of a molecule having multiple functional groups in most cases is effectively impossible.
