Words
Since baccatin III is reasonably available from renewable plant sources, it is improbable that total synthesis will ever impace the availability of baccatin III. Thus, questions pertaining to strategy, reaction development and access to certain classes of analogs rather than a solution of the taxol ''supply problem'' fuel interest in these targets.--- Samuel J Danishefsky
A major preoccupation of synthesis has been the development of new methodology or synthetic methods. Frequently, this has led to short efficient syntheses of natural products, which serve to emphasize and illustrate the value of such research. However, this is not always the case, since some methods can be contrived into awkward strategies that are less than convincing in their design and efficiency. The method must fit the problem and not the other way around. --- Philip Magnus. Acc. Chem. Res. 1984, 17, 35.
A step is defined as an operation that does not involve any intervening purification/separation, including removal of solvent, commencing with compounds that are over $50/gram.--Michael J. Krische. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2016, 138, 5467-5478.
Here we define a reaction step as one in which a substrate is converted to a product in a single reaction flask (irrespective of the number of transformations) without intermediate workup or purification.)-- Phil. S. Baran. Nature 2016, 532, 90-93.
Faculty are expected to be researchers and teachers, mentors, fundraisers, writers, editors, reviewers, panelists and administrators.-- Shenvi ACIE 2023
