Studies in Natural Products ChemistryStereoselective Synthesis\nAuthor(s): Atta-ur Rahman\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: Elsevier Science Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780444893666, 978-0444893666\nSynopsis\nStudies in Natural Products Chemistry Volume 12: Stereoselective Synthesis (Part H) reviews the stereoselective synthetic and mechanistic chemistry of bicyclomycin. It discusses chemical studies of the taxane diterpenes; the synthetic methodology for 2-amino alcohols of biological interest; and the synthesis and structure of hydroxylated indolizidines. Some of the topics covered in the book are the synthetic routes to the oxahydrindene subunit of the avermectin-milbemycin family of antiparasitic agents; isolation, structure elucidation, biosynthesis, and biological activity of the avermectins; two-stage coupling process of macrolide antibiotics synthesis; and synthesis of the rifamycin S ansa-chain compound. The complete synthesis of e.
