From the reviews: "The authors of the various chapters do a good job of describing the different methods used to synthesize these important molecules. Overall, the book reads well ... . It is essential reading for individuals doing research in this area of chemistry and will be of particular interest to chemists working in the pharmaceutical industry and to those with an interest in medicinal chemistry." (Cecilia H. Marzabadi, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 130 (9), 2008)
