About the book

"At the center of organic chemistry is the effective synthesis of natural products and other compounds of importance to society such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This textbook presents both strategy of design as well as tactics of execution in a comparative view of several designs for the same targets. An overview of the history and evolution of synthesis is provided followed by the discussion of achievements in total synthesis of natural products spanning almost 60 years. The sections on comparative design cover classics in terpenes and alkaloid synthesis, with an additional part on miscellaneous targets such as maytansine, palytoxin, brevetoxin B and indinavir. An outlook of future perspectives is provided with the discussion of various factors influencing organic synthesis." "This book is useful to synthetic chemists at all levels: lecturers and students as well as professionals in industry."--BOOK JACKET.
