Description
A classic in the area of organic synthesis, Strategies and Tactics in Organic Synthesis provides a forum for investigators to discuss
their approach to the science and art of organic synthesis. Rather than a simple presentation of data or a second-hand analysis, we are
given stories that vividly demonstrate the power of the human endeavour known as organic synthesis and the creativity and tenacity of
its practitioners. First hand accounts of each project tell of the excitement of conception, the frustration of failure and the joy experienced
when either rational thought and/or good fortune give rise to successful completion of a project. In this book we learn how synthesis
is really done and are educated, challenged and inspired by these stories, which portray the idea that triumphs do not come without challenges.
We also learn that we can meet challenges to further advance the science and art of organic synthesis, driving it forward to meet the
demands of society, in discovering new reactions, creating new designs and building molecules with atom and step economies that provide
solutions through function to create a better world.
