Douglass F. Taber, who currently lives in Philadelphia, is Professor Emeritus at the University of Delaware. Professor Taber published more than 200 articles in the field of organic chemistry, and authored eight chapters and several books. His research interests include the stereoselective synthesis of natural products, new methods in synthetic organic chemistry, and computational organometallic chemistry in organic synthesis.Tristan Lambert is a Professor of Chemistry at Columbia University, where he heads a lab with the goal of advancing the field of organic synthesis by inventing transformative new reaction tools that will increase the speed, efficiency, and selectivity with which complex molecules may be constructed.

This book would be ideal for those needing to be on top of the literature in synthetic organic chemistry
