Design and Strategy in Organic Synthesis Catalysis: from Principals to Applications Edited

by Stephen Hanessian, Simon Giroux, and Bradley L. Merner QD262.H26 2013 Following an introductory look at the concept of synthesis, the authors discuss the Why, What, and How of organic synthesis as they apply to natural products. Although emphasis is on the Chiron Approach utilizing amino-acids, carbohydrates, hydroxy acids, terpenes, lactones and other naturally occurring small molecules as starting materials, catalytic asymmetric methods are also included as a corollary whenever relevant.
