Chemical Synthesis of Hormones, Pheromones and Other Bioregulators

"This volume will reward the attention of anyone interested in organic synthesis, in natural products chemistry, or in chemical ecology. It should inspire more synthetic organic chemists to pay attention to current research on the roles played by small molecules in the lives of organisms, and it should encourage biologists and structural chemists to identify, contact, and collaborate with chemical colleagues who are mentally and physically equipped to carry out stereospecific syntheses of nature's signal molecules."  (Journal of the American Chemical Society, 23 February 2011)
