most pressing global challenges of today and tomorrow.
Foreword
-
I had the enjoyable task of reviewing prepublication copies of Clas
sics in Total Synthesis 1(K.C. Nicolaou and E.J. Sorensen) and 11
(K.C. Nicolaou and S.A. Snyder), and writing a Foreword for each
of these now much-acclaimed accounts of the total synthesis of
some 60 complex naturally occurring molecules. It was really a
pleasure, since both books were written to a very high standard in
terms of chemical content, pedagogy, and clarity. So, I hastened
to accept K.C. Nicolaou’s kind invitation to write another Foreword
for this book, Classics111,which splendidly follows in thefootsteps
of theearlier works with accounts of 42syntheses of 25 challenging
natural products. In aggregate, Classics I-III elegantly and effec-
tively chronicle monumental scientific achievement across a broad
front.
In my Foreword to the first volume in the series I expressed the
hope that Classics I would “be successful and followed by a conti-
nuing series”.My wish has now materialized, much to the benefitof
the whole field of chemical synthesis. Students, teachers, and
researchers will greatly profit from studying Classics III, as they
did from the two predecessors. The Introduction that follows this
Foreword contains an engaging summary of the objectives and phi-
losophy of the authors. I recommend that you read it now, even
though I know that you will be tempted to plunge straight into the
exciting chemistry that comes after.
We live at a time when the field of chemistry is underappreciated
- probably through a profound lack of understanding of the good
that the chemical sciences have contributed to the welfare of
humans. We should be thankful that many intellectually gifted
and energetic young people overlook this fact and undertake syn-
thetic chemistry as a career out of admiration for its beauty and
the enjoyment that comes from discovery and creative achievement
in synthesis. No doubt, the achievements of the past and the love of
science transmitted by their teachers are influential. Fortunately,
there remains much to accomplish and learn, and there is much
inspiration to be gained on the pages of this fine book. This volume,
as with the two before, will serve as an antidote to the public indif-
ference of chemistry. My thanks to K.C. Nicolaou and Jason Chen
for the hard work and commitment to sustaining progress in syn-
thetic chemistry that led to this admirable book.
