Strategies and Tactics in Organic Synthesis
About This Book
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.
- Presents state-of-the-art developments in organic synthesis
- Provides insights and offers new perspectives on problem-solving
- Written by leading experts in the field
- Uses firsthand narrative accounts to vividly illustrate the challenges and joys involved in advancing the science of organic synthesis
