a process of creating a chemical compound through a series of physical and chemical manipulations usually involving one or more chemical reactions

The construction of complex chemical compounds from simpler ones. A synthesis usually is undertaken for one of three reasons: 1) to meet an industrial demand for a product 2) to determine structures of compounds that occur naturally 3) a synthesis may be carried out to obtain a compound of specific structure that does not occur naturally and has not previously been made in order to examine the properties of the compound.

Production of chemical products from chemical base products.
