836-530: The force of gravity, instead of a vacuum. Most complex natural products are chiral, and the bioactivity of chiral molecules varies with the enantiomer . Some total syntheses target racemic mixtures, which are mixtures of both possible enantiomers . A single enantiomer can then be selected via enantiomeric resolution .   As chemistry has developed methods of stereoselective catalysis and kinetic resolution have been introduced whereby reactions can be directed, producing only one enantiomer rather than

874-493: The glass against gravity. This flow of water cools any escaping substrate and condenses it back into the reaction flask to continue reacting and ensure that all product is contained. The use of reflux condensers is an important technique within organic syntheses and is utilized in reflux steps, as well as recrystallization steps. When being used for refluxing a solution, reflux condensers are fitted and closely observed. Reflux occurs when condensation can be seen dripping back into

912-523: The layers, the product-containing layer can be isolated and the other layer can be removed. Many reactions require heat to increase reaction speed. However, in many situations increased heat can cause the solvent to boil uncontrollably which negatively affects the reaction, and can potentially reduce product yield. To address this issue, reflux condensers can be fitted to reaction glassware. Reflux condensers are specially calibrated pieces of glassware that possess two inlets for water to run in and out through

950-425: The molecule is complete; the chemical compounds made in each step are called synthetic intermediates . Most often, each step in a synthesis is a separate reaction taking place to modify the starting materials. For more complex molecules, a convergent synthetic approach may be better suited. This type of reaction scheme involves the individual preparations of several key intermediates, which are then combined to form
