sintez

Sintez is a term used in several languages to denote synthesis. In English, the standard term is synthesis, but sintez appears as a transliteration or loanword in languages such as Russian (синтез), Ukrainian, Kazakh, Uzbek, and other Cyrillic-using or Turkic-language contexts; the Turkish form is commonly written as sentez.

The word derives from the Greek sunthesis, formed by syn- meaning together and thesis meaning placing or setting.

In science, sintez refers to the process of forming a compound by chemical reaction. In chemistry, chemical synthesis encompasses methods to construct target molecules from simpler precursors, including approaches such as total synthesis in organic chemistry. Biosynthesis describes the production of complex compounds within living organisms, while materials science often discusses polymer synthesis and other synthetic routes to new materials.

The term is also used as a corporate or organizational name in several countries, particularly in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, reflecting the broad idea of constructing or assembling substances on an industrial scale.

In English-language contexts, the corresponding concept is typically referred to as synthesis. Variants such as sentez or синтез appear in their respective languages and may redirect readers to discussions of synthesis or to organization names that use Sintez as an identifier.
