They allow chemists to build large fragments of a molecule independently and then join them together in a late-stage step, which is much faster than building a molecule linearly.
The book by László Kürti and Barbara Czakó is a cornerstone reference for chemists, detailing 250 organic reactions and their use in building complex molecules. Strategic Applications of Named Reactions in Or...
