Books in the Total Synthesis of Natural Products series

This, the ninth volume of the "Total Synthesis of Natural Products" series, consists of a single chapter by K. Mori examining the total synthesis of insect pheromones.

A reference work which details synthetic approaches to a wide variety of natural products, this book includes details of the synthesis of spiroketal-containing natural products, tri-and tetracyclic diterpenes, polysaccharides and naturally-occurring quinones.

The past two decades have seen an explosion in research on the synthesis of sesquiterpenes, an important class of hydrocarbons commonly found in oils, resins, and balsams. Volume Eleven in The Total Synthesis of Natural Products series continues to review this dynamic area of chemistry.

This is the latest volume in a series on the reported total syntheses of various groups to natural products, with commentary on the strategy involved and with emphasis on any stereochemical control. Volume 10 studies the total synthesis of sesquiterpenes.

These two volumes provide a comprehensive look into one of chemistry's fastest growing specialities - sesquiterpene synthesis. They provide a useful and practical tool for researchers interested in locating any of the major classes of sesquiterpene compounds.
