Modern Tools for the Synthesis of Complex Bioactive Molecules (PDF)

All the latest tools needed to plan and perform the synthesis
of complex bioactive molecules

Focusing on organic, organometallic, and bio-oriented processes,
this book explores the impact and use of the latest synthetic tools
for the synthesis of complex biologically active compounds. Readers
will discover step by step how these synthetic tools have provided
new, elegant solutions to many synthetic puzzles. Moreover, they
will discover innovative methods that make it possible to control
the exact connectivity of atoms within a molecule in order to set
precise three-dimensional arrangements.

Modern Tools for the Synthesis of Complex Bioactive
Molecules features sixteen chapters, each one written by one or
more leading experts in organic synthesis from around the world. It
covers a broad range of topics that enable readers to take
advantage of the latest methods for synthesizing complex molecules,
including:

* Modern catalysis, emphasizing key transformations such as C-H
functionalizations, cross-couplings, gold-catalyzed reactions,
metathesis-based syntheses, and asymmetric organocatalysis

* Eco-compatible transformations, including rearrangements and
domino reactions

* Tools for the synthesis of carbohydrates and alkaloids

* New techniques, including the use of fluorous tags and
engineered biosynthesis

The last two chapters explore target- and diversity-oriented
organic synthesis as well as the use of DNA-based asymmetric
catalysis, which are all promising tools for the successful
synthesis of complex bioactive molecules.

Modern Tools for the Synthesis of Complex Bioactive
Molecules is ideal for students and researchers who need to
plan and perform the synthesis of complex molecules as efficiently
as possible. The book's expert advice will help these readers
quickly resolve a broad range of problems that can arise in organic
syntheses.
