- Synthesis Road Map Problems in Organic Chemistry Schaller, Chris P. Graham, Kate J. Jones, T. Nicholas Organic Chemistry Synthesis Pattern Recognition Science Process Skills Science Activities Scientific Concepts Scientific Literacy Science Instruction Science Achievement Student Reaction Educational Objectives Undergraduate Students Problem Solving Teaching Methods Road map problems ask students to integrate their knowledge of organic reactions with pattern recognition skills to "fill in the blanks" in the synthesis of an organic compound. Students are asked to identify familiar organic reactions in unfamiliar contexts. A practical context, such as a medicinally useful target compound, helps students to see why the study of organic reactions may be important. Drawing from the primary literature, a small library of these problems was developed.
