This long-awaited graduate level textbook adopts a refreshingly unique approach, and is written by one of the world's leading organic chemists. Following an introductory look at the concept of synthesis, the text goes on to discuss sources of enantiomerically pure compounds, the Chiron approach, locating the various substructures, synthesis with the various precursors and computer-aided synthesis. The whole is rounded off by an appendix with selected transformations of amino acids, carbohydrates, hydroxyacids and terpenes. A must-have source of first-class information for everyone working in organic synthesis, not only for graduate students.
