The Logic of Chemical Synthesis

E. J. Corey; Xue‐Min Cheng

Abstract

Part 1 General approaches to the analysis of complex synthetic problems: the basis for retrosynthetic analysis transform-based strategies structure-based and topological strategies stereochemical strategies functional group-based and other strategies concurrent use of several strategies. Part 2 Specific pathways for the synthesis of complex molecules: macrocyclic structures heterocyclic structures sesquiterprenoids polycyclic isoprenoids prostanoids leukotrienes and other bioactive polyenes. Part 3 Guide to the original literature of multistep synthesis.
