In chemistry a convergent synthesis is a strategy that aims to improve the efficiency of multistep synthesis, most often in organic synthesis. In this type of synthesis several individual pieces of a complex molecule are synthesized in stage one, and then in stage two these pieces are combined to form the final product.[1] In linear synthesis the overall yield quickly drops with each reaction step:

A → B → C → D

Suppose the yield is 50% for each reaction; the overall yield of D is only 12.5% from A.

In a convergent synthesis

A → B (50%)

C → D (50%)

B + D → E (25%)

the overall yield of E (25%) looks much better. Convergent synthesis is applied in the synthesis of complex molecules and involves fragment coupling and independent synthesis.

Examples:

  • Convergent synthesis is encountered in dendrimer synthesis[2] where branches (with the number of generations preset) are connected to the central core.
  • Proteins of up to 300 amino acids are produced by a convergent approach using chemical ligation.
  • An example of its use in total synthesis is the final step (photochemical [2+2]cycloaddition) towards the compound biyouyanagin A:[3]
