This lecture covers the principles of retrosynthesis applied to carbocyclic compounds, focusing on disconnections involving two functional groups. Topics include cross couplings, starting materials, and functionalization of alkenes. The lecture also discusses the selective reactivity of carbonyls and enolization, as well as strategies for controlling selectivity in synthesis.
