This s book provides the analysis of advanced methods in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. The focus is placed on the carbon carbon bond forming methodologies for construction of acyclic and carbocyclic three-, four-, five-, and six-membered compounds. Various reaction types including heterolytic, radical, and concerted transformations and a series of transition metal mediated reactions such as cross-couplings and olefin metathesis are covered.

The power of synthetic methodology is demonstrated on numerous synthesis of complex natural products examples. The key role of total synthesis of natural products in drug discovery is highlighted. The book contains extensive bibliography on all topics considered, mainly on original publications of the last decade.

The book is intended for students and researches interested in modern organic synthesis.
