 Hardbound. Natural product chemistry continues to be a treasure-house of a growing diversity of natural products, many with interesting biological activities. The present volume, the 16th in the series, contains comprehensive reviews on synthetic approaches to the antitumor antibiotics actinobolin and bactobolin, fredericamycin A, the glycosidase inhibitor siastatin A, enantioselective synthesis of irodoids and brassinosteroids, use of organopalladium compounds in the synthesis of prostaglandins and alkaloids as well as the synthesis of amino acids using transition metal organometallic methods.The book also covers recent advances in the synthesis of piperidine and indolizidine alkaloids, aporphine alkaloids, neolignans, pterocarpans, 2-aryl-2,3-dihydrobenzoquinones, photooxygenation of 4-substituted phenols, and the use of furan, -butyrolactones and fluoro- -lactams in natural product synthesis.
