		And total synthesis continues to be the engine that drives organic synthesis forward, and therefore I think it is still a flourishing, exciting field of investigation.
		Organic synthesis is behind medicinal chemistry, and total synthesis is a branch of organic synthesis.
		I call it the engine that drives organic synthesis forward, because total synthesis deals with the ultimate challenges of organic synthesis—the most complicated molecules that nature has ever made are in front of the synthetic chemist.

		The field of synthesis is currently undergoing exciting changes as new methods emerge to make more complex compounds more quickly and efficiently.
		The new techniques are part of an emerging trend for using synthesis design to dictate separation, and we call these "strategy level separations." Fluorous reactions are highly suited for combinatorial chemistry and parallel synthesis.

		A great way to use the book and learn organic synthesis would be to write down every single step on a separate piece of paper and understand what each step does in the overall total synthesis.
		The synthesis steps and important reactions are presented in schemes with blue background sections, with emphasis on asymmetric synthesis, catalysts, stereochemistry and mechanism.
		Included are a retrosynthetic analysis(very helpful for those learning the art of total synthesis), the total synthesis(explaining key steps along the way and why the reaction gave the products it did) and then some conclusions.
