Autoren-Porträt von K. C. Nicolaou, Jason S. Chen
K. C. Nicolaou is Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, San Diego and is Chairman of the Department of Chemistry and holds the Skaggs Professorship of Chemical Biology and the Darlene Shiley Chair in Chemistry at The Scripps Research Insitute. He studied chemistry at the University of London, and finished his Ph.D. in 1972 with Professors Sondheimer and Garratt. After his postdocs at Columbia University with Professor Katz and Harvard University with Professor Corey, he joined the University of Pennsylvania, before accepting appointments at the University of California in San Diego. His impact on chemistry flows from his works in chemical synthesis and chemical biology described in over 550 publications and 55 patents, and he received numereous awards from all over the world. His book "Classics in Total Synthesis I and II" are long- and bestsellers as well as undispensible in view of chemical education in the strategy of organic synthesis.Jason S. Chen received his AB and AM degrees in 2001 from Harvard University, where he performed research in the group of Professor Matthew D. Shair. He then joined Enanta Pharmaceuticals (USA) as a medicinal chemist studying novel cyclosporine analogs. He joined K.C. Nicolaou's group at the Scripps Research Institute in 2003. In 2008, he completed his Ph.D. on the total synthesis and biological evaluation of uncialamycin. He is working currently as a research associate in K.C. Nicolaous laboratory.

Rezension zu „Classics in Total Synthesis III “
?The present volume?and hopefully future books of this series?offer an exciting and outstanding overview of the subject of natural products total syntheses in its complexity and variety. Classics in Total Synthesis III will surely itself become a classic in the literature on the state of the art of contemporary organic synthetic chemistry.? ? Angewandte Chemie Int. Ed. 2011 "... a volume, (...) which any chemist with an interest in synthetic organic chemistry will wish to acquire." ?JACS (on a previous volume) "...this superb book (...) will be an essential purchase for many organic chemists." ?Nature (on a previous volume) "... One of my co-workers confessed that Classics I was the book on his bedside table while he prepared his thesis defense. Isn't that the highest distinction for a monograph?" ?Angewandte Chemie, 2004 (on a previous volume)
Pressezitat
Nowadays, books that concentrate on the area of organic synthesis are numerous enough to fill whole inventories of libraries. But of that multitude, only a few books have been as outstanding in recent years as the series Classics in Total Synthesis, written by K. C. Nicolaou with various co-authors. This series can therefore already be justifiably called a classic in itself. Likewise, the third volume of this series, published by Wiley-VCH in February 2011, will surely continue the success of the previous volumes, and will certainly be a must-have in the libraries of synthetically orientated groups.The concept of the preceding volumes has been closely retained. In 26 chapters, including an introductory chapter, syntheses of more than 40 natural products or natural product core structures are discussed in detail. The syntheses, together with historical excursions, have been taken from literature of the years 2003 to 2010. Each chapter begins with background information about the discovery, structure elucidation, and biological significance of the target molecule(s). To aid the reader_s orientation, key concepts of the total synthesis described are provided at the beginning of each chapter. After describing retrosyntheses that have been achieved, and any preliminary synthetic work, the chapter gives a very detailed description of the synthesis of the target structure, including almost all the individual steps. All literature references are clearly identified by chapter endnotes, thus allowing rapid access to the primary sources. The chapter ends with a short summary and a well-chosen, detailed, and extensive list of references. This alone is one of the great strengths of the book, and provides every synthetic chemist with an excellent pool for the solution of his or her own synthetic problems. Also particularly valuable for the reader are the short reviews on specific topics, which have the scope and style of review articles. Thus, one finds surveys on current

topics of interest such as organocatalysis (Chapter 7: littoralisone, oseltamivir, hirsutellone B) and C_H activation (Chapter 2: tetrodotoxin) next to overviews of more classical themes such as Schenk ene reactions with singlet oxygen (Chapter 12: tetracycline), photochemically induced [2+2] cycloadditions (Chapter 18: biyouyanagin A), [2+2+2] cycloadditions, Diels-Alder reactions with o-quinones (Chapter 22: sporolid B), and Kagan-Molander SmI2 couplings (Chapter 24: vannusal B). The review of asymmetric halogenation reactions (Chapter 21: chlorosulfolipid cytotoxin) is particularly well-written, as it clearly demonstrates, to the young scientist as well as to the post- or pre-graduate student, that there are still enough chemical transformations that have not yet been sufficiently studied, and therefore leave room for personal creativity and ambition.
Novelties of this third volume compared to the previous ones are mainly concerned with the detailed contents. The depth of mechanistic discussions has been greatly increased. The introductions to the chapters often feature insights into the biosynthesis of the natural product concerned (e.g., Chapter 10: stephacidin). Some small sections describe problems associated with structure elucidation, which then led to revision of the supposed structure in the context of the total synthesis (e.g., in Chapter 4: azaspiracid-1). The very instructive concept of discussing and comparing several different syntheses of a target structure in a parallel fashion, which was introduced in the second volume of this series, has now been further developed in a clever way. Sometimes it would also have been useful for the synthetic chemist reader to be given an explanation of why a specific unusual reagent was chosen at a certain stage during the planning or carrying out of a synthesis, and why an apparently more convenient and conventional procedure was avoided. Such explanations, and possibly also descriptions of unsuccessful attempted routes, could give the reader an even more detailed insight into problems of reactivity or selectivity of a specific reagent or substrate.
The layout of this book has only been slightly changed compared with previous volumes. One innovation is the introduction of a colored title page at the beginning of each chapter, presenting an attractive graphical illustration of the target structure, together with its natural source and a picture of the leader of the group that worked on the total synthesis. However, the opportunity to similarly illustrate other parts of the chapter has not been taken; especially in the introduction, figures or graphics in color might have improved the accessibility of the contents. The question of whether it would be an advantage to also introduce color into the synthetic schemes depends on the reader_s personal taste as well as the costs of the book. On the other hand, the great success of this series does support a continuation of the style in its present form.
As the selection of synthetic target molecules for this book is exclusively taken from the more recent literature, in contrast to the first volume of the series, it remains to be seen whether the syntheses described will eventually become true classics. This book will certainly contribute its share to ensuring that these syntheses will be used as outstanding models for teaching and research purposes, even 20 or more years from now. One could also consider an even broader selection of target molecules and structures, which might be less close to the main author_s field of work and experience (at least 10 out of 26 chapters deal with the author_s syntheses). Indisputably, K. C. Nicolaou has made outstanding contributions in his research field. But who would not, for this very reason, like to see discussions of other scientists_ syntheses by the master himself?
A particularly extensive account is given in Chapter 3, which describes an impressive 60 g total synthesis of discodermolide by Novartis. This clearly demonstrates the increasing scientific, but also industrial, importance of complex syntheses of natural products. The present volume - and hopefully future books of this series - offer an exciting and outstanding overview of the subject of natural products total syntheses in its complexity and variety. Classics in Total Synthesis III will surely itself become a classic in the literature on the state of the art of contemporary organic synthetic chemistry.
