This lecture covers the logic of total synthesis, retro-synthetic analysis, approaches to simplifying structures, evolution of synthesis criteria, and concepts like selectivity, atom-economy, and redox-economy. It also discusses chemo-, regio-, and stereo-selectivity, and the importance of protecting-group-free synthesis.
