Book Description
Success comes in many forms and in synthesis it can be a failure that results in their ultimate successful solutions. This long-awaited sequel to "Dead Ends and Detours" retains the proven concept while featuring over 20 new case studies of failed strategies and their (successful) solutions in natural product total synthesis. Additionally, computational models are used to discuss the problem in much more detail and to provide readers with additional information not found in the primary literature. The topics range from classic synthetic reactions (e.g. Diels Alder reaction), metal-mediated coupling reactions, metathesis, and asymmetric catalysis to the importance of protecting and activating groups. This book will benefit not only graduate students in organic chemistry but also advanced researchers as they gain knowledge derived from the step-by-step analysis of mistakes made in the past and, thus be able to improve their own chemical reaction planning. With its coverage of the most commonly applied reaction types, the book perfectly complements its predecessor, which focuses on general aspects, such as reactivity and selectivity.

Book Description
Terpenes are primary constituents of plant oils and have long held importance as flavors and fragrances, as well as poisons and medicines. Isolation, structural elucidation, total synthesis and occasional structural revision of these omnipresent natural products have long been conducted, providing constant challenges to chemists and thus allowing for a continuous development of the field. In particular, advances in analytical techniques and the development of retrosynthetic analysis have led to a dramatic increase in the number of isolated terpenes and the ability to execute their total synthesis. While total synthesis has conquered some extremely complex terpenes, only milligram quantities are typically prepared after many years of effort; in contrast, Nature seemingly generates terpenes with ease. Therefore, organic chemistry still needs to improve dramatically in order to match the efficiency of Nature. The main difficulty in the total synthesis of terpenes is that there are no general rules for their construction, and molecules must be retrosynthetically evaluated on a case-by-case basis. A solution to this problem perhaps lies in mimicking Nature, as the awe-inspiring efficiency of biosynthesis suggests that there might be certain advantages to conducting terpene synthesis in a similar manner. Nature creates its library of terpenes in a unified fashion by a two-phase approach: a cyclase phase that uses a small number of functional groups to cyclize and rearrange carboskeleton frameworks, and an oxidase phase that builds diversity by using a variety of cytochrome P450 enzymes to achieve C-H oxidation. Similarly, a laboratory two-phase synthesis of terpenes would involve first a "cyclase phase" with the aim to synthesize a lowly oxidized target of a particular terpene family in an enantioselective and scalable manner, followed by an "oxidase phase" that would divergently access various members of a given terpene family using C-H functionalization methods. In this thesis, two terpene families are chosen as platforms for discovery in total synthesis: the eudesmane family of sesquiterpenes and the taxane family of diterpenes. Execution of the "cyclase phase" in the eudesmane and taxane families is described through the scalable and enantioselective total syntheses of dihydrojunenol and "taxadienone."

Pages : 579
Book Description
Each volume reviews the total synthesis of a set of compounds looking at syntheses reported historically and at the practice current at the time of publication. From volume 1 focusing on carbohydrates, prostagladins, nucleic acids, antibiotics, naturally occurring oxygen ring compounds and pyrrole pigments, the series continues with coverage of aromatic steroids, monoterpenes, triterpenes, sesquiterpenes, cannabinoids, natural inophores, insect pheromones and alkaloids. Volumes revisit the total synthesis of key compounds such as carbohydrates, nucleic acids and pyrrole pigments several times during the series building a picture of the historic development of total synthesis techniques for these major groups. Chapters are edited by experts in their field to give a complete overview of the best in the field at the time.
