Abstract: The paper introduced the teaching design of leading the reverse reasoning thinking mode into organic synthesis experimental teaching, taking a classic organic chemistry experimental project—the synthesis of cinnamic acid，as an example. After teaching design and improvement, this project contains rich ideological and political elements.

Key words: Retrosynthetic analysis, Organic synthesis experiments, Nobel Prize achievements, Reverse reasoning thinking mode, Synthesis of cinnamic acid
