This volume is based partly on the lecture notes of K. C. N. that were used for teaching courses at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of California, San Diego, and The Scripps Research Institute. We apologize sincerely to those whose brilliant works have been left out owing to the inevitable closing of the curtain and hope that in the event of a second volume we can rectify these omissions. We also apologize in advance for the inevitable errors that a volume of this size may contain, and welcome constructive comments from our readers in order to correct such errors in future editions. 

K. C. Nicolaou was bom in 1946 in Cyprus. He studied chemistry at the University of London (B.Sc., 1969 Ph.D., 1972), Columbia University (postdoctoral research) and Harvard University (postdoctoral research). Between 1976 and 1989 he was a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania. He currently holds joint appointments at The Scripps Research Institute, where he is the Darlene Shiley Professor of Chemistry and Chairman of the Department of Chemistry, and at the University of California, San Diego, where he is Professor of Chemistry. His research interests span the areas of synthetic organic chemistry, bioorganic chemistiy, molecular design, and the chemistry and biology of natural products. 

Erik J. Sorensen was bom in 1966 in Oneida, New York. He graduated from Syracuse University with a B. A. in chemistry. He received his Ph. D. degree in chemistry from the University of California, San Diego in 1995 working under the guidance of Professor K. C. Nicolaou. His research interests are in the areas of total synthesis and reaction engineering.
