A synthesis reaction is a chemical process where two or more substances combine to form a more complex product. It involves the creation of new bonds and the production of a single compound.

Synthesis reactions are fundamental in organic chemistry, contributing to the formation of diverse compounds and materials, such as proteins, polymers, and other complex molecules.
