So one thing that hasn't been mentioned so far, but that is relevant, is that a lot of the chemistry works best when the chemist has access to abundant levels of electricity and/or heat. Depending on how much stuff he wants to make and how his vehicle is powered, one the steps might be "drill for oil, make a dirty-tech refinery (High-Tech p 16)". This is less of a concern if he's a time or space traveller with a fusion plant on his vessel, though you still might want to do some fractional distilling of petroleum to get useful feedstock chemicals like methane.
