Biomimetic Organic Synthesis, 2 Volume Set

By Bastien Nay

In this exciting 2 volume set, the approach and methodology ofbio-inspired synthesis of complex natural products is laid out, backed by abundant practical examples from the authors' own work aswell as from the published literature.

Volume 1 describes the biomimetic synthesis ofalkaloids.

Volume 2 covers terpenes, polyketides, andpolyphenols.

A discussion of the current challenges and frontiers inbiomimetic synthesis concludes this comprehensive handbook.

Key features:

Biomimetic Strategies have become an every-day tool not onlyfor chemists but also for biologists. The synthetic applicationsare overwhelming, making this comprehensive 2 volume work amust-have for everyone working in the field.Unifying both synthetic and biosynthetic aspects, this bookcovers everything from organocatalysis and natural productsynthesis to synthetic biology and even green chemistry.
