In the Multistep Synthesis?

What is multistep synthesis? Multistep synthesis is the process of taking a readily available compounds (ones you can buy) and converting them into desired products using known reactions. Multistep syntheses require more than one step, and so one or more intermediate compounds are formed along the way.

Why is multistep synthesis important?

Most of the useful synthetic organic compounds involve a series of chemical transformations of very different nature, which can be termed simply as 'multistep synthesis'. ... Multistep syntheses enable the synthesis of complex molecules, which otherwise would be practically impossible if performed in a single step.
