Classified as: Functional Group Interconvertion

Functional Group Interconvertion (FGI) is a concept associated with "RetroSynthetic Analysis", RSA, a rational approach to the designing synthetic routes to large organic structures, usually of pharmaceutical interest. The oxidation of a secondary alcohol to a ketone is an FGI.
