Target entity: Classics in Total Synthesis
Context triple: [K. C. Nicolaou, notableWork, Classics in Total Synthesis]
  • A. The Logic of Chemical Synthesis
    The Logic of Chemical Synthesis is a seminal book by chemist Elias J. Corey that systematically presents the principles and strategies of retrosynthetic analysis for designing complex organic molecule syntheses.
  • B. Enantioselective Chemical Synthesis
    Enantioselective Chemical Synthesis is a foundational work in organic chemistry that systematically presents strategies and methods for constructing chiral molecules with high stereocontrol.
  • C. Corey–Nicolaou macrolactonization
    Corey–Nicolaou macrolactonization is a widely used organic synthesis reaction that forms large-ring lactones from hydroxy acids via an activated ester intermediate.
  • D. Corey–Winter olefin synthesis
    Corey–Winter olefin synthesis is an organic reaction that converts 1,2-diols into alkenes via cyclic thiocarbonate intermediates, widely used for stereospecific formation of double bonds.
  • E. Evans auxiliary-based asymmetric synthesis
    Evans auxiliary-based asymmetric synthesis is a widely influential chiral auxiliary strategy developed by David A. Evans that enables highly stereoselective construction of complex molecules in organic synthesis.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
