Synthesize means, literally, "put together". In chemistry, for example, it means to construct a larger molecule from two or more smaller ones. The antonym in chemistry is "break down".

In the humanities, a synthesis is a compilation of ideas and observations on a topic, and a generalization that brings this material together. Antonyms of "synthesize" might therefore be deconstruct, analyze, dismantle.
