Review of Chemical Synthesis of Hormones, Pheromones and Other Bioregulators

摘要

Three cheers, colleagues, for an authentic masterpiece! In Chemical Synthesis of Hormones, Pheromones and Other Bioregulators, Kenji Mori describes the synthesis of over 170 natural products, each of which plays an important role in the life of the organism that produces it. Syntheses of a vast array of polyke-tides, isoprenoids, alkaloids, and other bioactive compounds isolated from bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals are presented, and the strategy behind each synthesis is clearly explained.
