Enantioselective synthesis of sulfoxides: 2000-2009.

A comprehensive program for the synthesis of natural (or unnatural) products is analogous to the construction of a pyramid. Careful planning followed by installation of numerous levels of support are required to complete the edifice. Specific “cornerstone” strategies are typically major motivations for undertaking the program. Finally, the venture reflects the desire of the research team to construct a lasting monument to their creativity and hard work (Figure 1). * Corresponding author. E-mail: pfuchs@purdue.edu. Chem.
