Synthetic chemistry is the study of the connection between structure and reactivity of organic, organometallic and inorganic compounds. It is the study and a process by which many substances important to daily life are obtained. Synthetic chemistry provides a foundation and detailed understanding of fields such as biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, green chemistry, chemical engineering, food science, cosmetic and fragrance industries, materials science, nanotechnology, pharmacology and molecular biology.<br><br>Chemistry is often called the central science because so many scientists study chemistry at some level and it is important to virtually all areas of modern science. Chemistry is the science of the molecular scale and synthetic chemistry involves study of molecules and materials, the exploration of their properties and the means to use them.<br><br>Studying Synthetic Chemistry provides a foundation and detailed understanding of fields such as biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, green chemistry, chemical engineering, food science, cosmetic and fragrance industries, materials science, nanotechnology, pharmacology and molecular biology. In the Chemistry - Synthetic major students will also develop an understanding of complex reactions, the mechanisms of reactions and the physical and chemical manipulations that can be used to make reactions occur. This major also covers natural products chemistry, catalysis and the preparation of new materials. A major in Synthetic Chemistry will, importantly, complement majors in other disciplines such as Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Pharmacology and Engineering Science.<br><br><br><br>Chemistry is often called the central science because so many scientists study chemistry at some level and it is important to virtually all areas of modern science.
