TL;DR: A comprehensive program for the synthesis of natural (or unnatural) products is analogous to the construction of a pyramid, where careful planning followed by installation of numerous levels of support are required to complete the edifice.
Abstract: 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.

TL;DR: In this Review, the fundamental characteristics of azide chemistry and current developments are presented and the focus will be placed on cycloadditions (Huisgen reaction), aza ylide chemistry, and the synthesis of heterocycles.
Abstract: Since the discovery of organic azides by Peter Griess more than 140 years ago, numerous syntheses of these energy-rich molecules have been developed. In more recent times in particular, completely new perspectives have been developed for their use in peptide chemistry, combinatorial chemistry, and heterocyclic synthesis. Organic azides have assumed an important position at the interface between chemistry, biology, medicine, and materials science. In this Review, the fundamental characteristics of azide chemistry and current developments are presented. The focus will be placed on cycloadditions (Huisgen reaction), aza ylide chemistry, and the synthesis of heterocycles. Further reactions such as the aza-Wittig reaction, the Sundberg rearrangement, the Staudinger ligation, the Boyer and Boyer-Aube rearrangements, the Curtius rearrangement, the Schmidt rearrangement, and the Hemetsberger rearrangement bear witness to the versatility of modern azide chemistry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the development of catalysts for olefin metathesis which combine high activity, durability, and excellent tolerance towards polar functional groups.
Abstract: The advent of well-defined catalysts for olefin metathesis which combine high activity, durability, and excellent tolerance towards polar functional groups has revolutionized the field. The past decade has seen the rapid embrace of these reagents as tools for advanced organic and polymer chemistry and the success of this development is witnessed by a plethora of elegant applications to the synthesis of natural and nonnatural products. This review article provides an overview of these developments and intends to familiarize the reader with some very recent advances which hold the promise to expand the scope of the reaction even further. Moreover, the positive impact of metathesis on the fundamental logic of retrosynthetic planning is demonstrated by means of typical examples. Finally, it will be shown that metathesis is by no means restricted to alkenes as substrates, and some comments on metathesis reactions following unconventional mechanistic pathways will also be presented.
