Summary:
"This new edition of Asymmetric Synthesis of Natural Products introduces students to the rapidly growing field of natural products in organic chemistry. The initial chapters present the foundations of asymmetric synthesis, including the theory and applications of individual asymmetric reactions. This is followed by chapters on each of the major individual classes of natural products; their structures, biosynthesis and interrelationships as well as examples of asymmetric syntheses and the practical value of these compounds. For this third edition the text has been thoroughly updated and expanded, and includes new discussions around sustainable development, the circular economy and use of renewable raw materials that have become prominent in many fields of science and technology, with an emphasis on the use of natural products to reach such goals"-- Provided by publisher.
