Article Title: Applications of total synthesis to problems in neurodegeneration: Fascinating chemistry along the way
Abstract: The possibility for the application of organic synthesis to the discovery of new agents in combating neurodegenerative disorders is described. Our focus has been on agents derived from natural-product leads and natural products themselves prepared through total synthesis. Herein, we describe some of the chemistry as well as interesting observations made along the way. © 2006 American Chemical Society.
