Metathesis in Natural Product Synthesis: Strategies, Substrates and Catalysts - Tapa dura

Emphasizing the impact of metathesis in natural product synthesis through the different types of key reactions, this is a comprehensive view of a hot topic. Written by top international authors, this ready reference is clearly structured and packed with important information, including representative experimental procedures for practical applications. A real must-have for anyone working in natural product synthesis.

The tremendous success of the so-called metathesis reaction during the last decade (Nobel prize 2005) is reflected in its huge impact on natural product synthesis and related fields. A very significant portion of contemporary total syntheses comprises at least one metathetic conversion; while many of them rely on metathesis as the key strategic element.
