You will learn about chemical reactions and some basic synthesis in organic chemistry. However most synthesis is taught at upper level or even graduate level organic chemistry.

If you are really interested in generating new compounds I’d steer you more towards chemical engineering which takes the discoveries from chemists and figures out how to efficiently produce the compound on a large industrial scale.

Chemistry is a dying profession and most research is being moved to China and India where cheap third world slaves will toil in labs for 16 hours a day with no Osha or EPA are stopping companies from killing workers or poisoning the environment.
