Description
This, the most recent contribution to the Tetrahedron Organic Chemistry series, provides an integrated evaluation of the diversity of
natural products in relation to biodiversity. The ongoing exploitation of biological resources, while maintaining an effective equilibrium
on Earth, depends much on the conservation of biodiversity. To this end, parts one and two focus on biodiversity from all viewpoints,
while explaining the link with natural products. The third section concentrates on the molecular-shape level, as a link to ecosystem
and biodiversity, while the fourth section tackles actual functionalization, as a link to biodiversity at species level. Part five addresses
the diversification of these resources from biotechnology and chemical technology, while the final part is concerned with maintaining
natural product diversity on Earth.
