SynopsisK.C. Nicolaou - Winner of the Nemitsas Prize 2014 in Chemistry This book is a must for every synthetic chemist. With didactic skill and clarity, K. C. Nicolaou and E. Sorensen present the most remarkable and ingenious total syntheses from outstanding synthetic organic chemists. To make the complex strategies more accessible, especially to the novice, each total synthesis is analyzed retrosynthetically. The authors then carefully explain each synthetic step and give hints on alternative methods and potential pitfalls. Numerous references to useful reviews and the original literature make this book an indispensable source of further information. Special emphasis is placed on the skillful use of graphics and schemes: Retrosynthetic analyses, reaction sequences, and stereochemically crucial steps are presented in boxed sections within the text. For easy reference, key intermediates are also shown in the margins. Graduate students and researchers alike will find this book a gold mine of useful information essential for their daily work. Every synthetic organic chemist will want to have a copy on his or her desk., K.C. Nicolaou - Winner of the Nemitsas Prize 2014 in Chemistry This book is a must for every synthetic chemist. With didactic skill and clarity, K.C. Nicolaou and E. Sorensen present the most remarkable and ingenious total syntheses from outstanding synthetic organic chemists., K. C. Nicolaou, E. J. Sorensen Classics in Total Synthesis Targets, Strategies, Methods This book is a must for every synthetic organic chemist. With didactic skill and clarity, K. C. Nicolaou and E. J. Sorensen present the most remarkable and ingenious total syntheses from the laboratories of some of the world's greatest synthetic organic chemists. To make the strategies more understandable and accessible, especially to the novice, each total synthesis is first analyzed retrosynthetically. The authors then carefully describe each step and comment on alternative methods and potential pitfalls. When appropriate, key chemical reactions are discussed in the wider context of the chemical literature, giving the reader a lesson in both total synthesis and synthetic methods. Diverse structural types of natural products and important organic transformations including pericyclic, ionic, radical, and photochemical reactions are covered. Catalysis, asymmetric synthesis, organometallic chemistry, and cyclization reactions are especially highlighted. Mechanism, reactivity, selectivity, and stereochemistry are presented clearly and discussed analytically. Numerous references to useful reviews and the original literature will make this book the first point of entry into the vast field of synthetic organic chemistry. Special emphasis is placed on the skillful use of graphics and schemes. Retrosynthetic analyses, reaction sequences and crucial synthetic steps are presented in boxed, blue background sections within the text. For easy reference, key intermediates are also shown in the margins. Graduate students, teachers, and researchers alike will find this book to be a gold mine of useful information. Every synthetic chemist will have a copy on his or her desk., An diesem Buch wird kein Organiker vorbeikommen. Mit didaktischem Gespür und gro er Klarheit stellen K.C. Nicolaou und E. Sorensen bemerkenswerte Totalsynthesen hervorragender Synthetiker vor. Um komplexe Strategien vor allem für Anfänger verständlich darzustellen, wird jede Synthese retrosynthetisch betrachtet. Die Autoren erklären sorgfältig jeden Syntheseschritt und weisen auf alternative Methoden und mögliche exprimentelle Probleme hin. Die ausführliche Zusammenstellung von Übersichtsartikeln und Orginalliteratur macht dieses Buch zu einer unverzichtbaren Quelle für weiterführende Informationen. Besondere Sorgfalt wurde auf den geschickten Einsatz von Graphiken und Schemata verwandt: Retrosynthetische Analysen, Reaktionsfolgen und stereochemisch entscheidende Schritte sind durch markierte Kästen hervorgehoben. Um das Lesen angenehm und einfach zu gestalten, sind die wichtigsten Zwischenstufen nochmals in der Randspalte aufgeführt. Dieses Buch wird fortgeschrittenen Studenten und Forschern bei Ihrer täglichen Arbeit unverzichtbar werden.
