This book presents a comprehensive overview of six-membered chair-like transition states in organic synthesis. Logically organized by reaction type, the sections focus on [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements, aldol reactions, metal allylation reactions, stereoselective reductions, and other reactions. Each reaction contains an introduction to the reaction type and history, a discussion of the corresponding six-membered chair-like transition state, and details of synthetic applications in natural products synthesis.
