Advanced Green Strategies for Total Synthesis of Bioactive Natural Productsexplores current sustainable developments in the total synthesis of pharmaceutically important natural products, which are frequently more potent than man-made compounds.This book meets the needs of synthetic organic chemists, pharmacologists, and the broader biological community. It provides new and inexperienced readers, whether in academia or industry, with a complete insight into emerging research in a field driven by greener strategies—a topic of interest to a substantial scientific audience.Organized into six parts, the book focuses on green strategies, including total synthesis using biocatalysis, water, total synthesis at room temperature, total synthesis through flash vacuum pyrolysis, C–H functionalization, and protecting-group-free strategies. Across 65 chapters, it covers individual bioactive secondary metabolites. Each chapter covers natural sources, structure, structural features, chemical class of compounds, pharmaceutical potential of natural products, conventional chemical synthesis, its demerits, key features of total synthesis, types of reactions in a crucial green step, synthetic strategy, and synthetic route via green techniques.This volume promotes the development of more environmentally friendly synthetic methodologies, ensuring that future generations can live on this planet with the least amount of energy required for chemical transformations and minimal pollution.
