Scientists in this field create wonders small blankets using tiny molecules, like organic molecules, that make everything from medicine and perfume to the very stuff we put on our bodies and play with.
In the field of organic synthetic chemistry, scientists act as architects by fitting together organic molecules in a certain way to create new compounds.
With special tools and machines, scientists can make compounds that have never been seen, with unique properties that have the potential to be used to help people and the environment.
Organic chemistry is incredibly important to drug development because scientists use organically synthesized molecules to build new medicines that may perhaps help work to ease the suffering of diseases and illnesses.
Organic synthesis is also crucial for developing environmentally-benign sustainable solutions. By making materials, such as biodegradable plastics and renewable energy sources.
