Books in the Strategies and Tactics in Organic Synthesis series

Strategies and Tactics in Organic Synthesis, Volume 14, provides a forum for investigators to discuss their approach to the science and art of organic synthesis. Rather than a simple presentation of data or a secondhand analysis, this classic provides stories that vividly demonstrate the power of the human endeavor known as organic synthesis and the creativity and tenacity of its practitioners. Firsthand accounts of each project present the excitement of conception, the frustration of failure, and the joy experienced when either rational thought or good fortune gives rise to the successful completion of a project. This innovative approach also helps illustrate how challenges to further advance the science and art of organic synthesis can be overcome, driving the field forward to meet the demands of society by discovering new reactions, creating new designs, and building molecules with atom and step economies that provide functional solutions to create a better world.

This text, aimed at organic chemists, students, researchers (in academia and industry), and instructors, includes papers on redox glycosidation, pentacyclic quassinoids, the synthesis of taxusin, pederin, and cancer growth-inhibiting diterpene.

Thirteen contributions designed, like volume one, to give graduate students and researchers a "behind-the-scenes" look at organic synthesis. Illustrates the strategies and tactics that organic chemists use in their own work revealing their techiques in a work that will appeal to other organic chemi

Presents stories that demonstrate the power of the human endeavour known as organic synthesis and the creativity and tenacity of its practitioners. This work helps us we learn how synthesis is really done and are educated, challenged and inspired by these stories, which portray the idea that triumphs do not come without challenges.

Presents developments in organic synthesis and provides insight and offers several perspectives to problem-solving. This book provides a forum for investigators to discuss their approach to the science and art of organic.

Volume One of "Strategies and Tactics in Organic Synthesis" includes chapters on the total synthesis of gibberellic acid, the aglycone of tylosin, and evolution of a strategy for total synthesis of streptonigrin.

A classic in the area of organic synthesis, Strategies and Tactics in Organic Synthesis provides a forum for investigators to discuss their approach to the science and art of organic synthesis.

Firsthand accounts of each project tell of the excitement of conception, the frustration of failure and the joy experienced when either rational thought or good fortune gives rise to the successful completion of a project. This book series shows how synthesis is really done, and we are educated, challenged and inspired by these accounts, which portray the idea that triumphs do not come without challenges. We also learn that we can meet challenges to further advance the science and art of organic synthesis, driving it forward to meet the demands of society, in discovering new reactions, creating new designs and building molecules with atom and step economies that provide solutions through function to create a better world.
