A synthon is a concept in retro-synthetic analysis.
Explanation:
It is defined as a structural unit within a molecule which is related to a possible synthetic operation. In other words, a synthon is s specific component (compound) that can be used to make a product.
A chiral synthon is a component (compound) that can be used to make a chiral product (i.e., a compound that induces chirality)...
Hope this helps!!!
