Hello student

Inretrosynthetic analysis, asynthonis a destructive unit within amoleculewhich is related to a possiblesyntheticoperation. The "wordsynthonhas now come to be used to mean syntheticbuilding blockrather than retrosynthetic fragmentation structures". So synthons may or may not be reation intermediate of a synthesis.
