Examples include hormones, pheromones, phytoalexins, and antifeedants. These biofunctional molecules are of great interest to researchers in helping develop our understanding of biological function and in the development of new drugs. However extracting them from nature can be prohibitively expensive, so there is great interest in devising methods of synthesising them from simple starting materials in the laboratory.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChemical Synthesis of Hormones, Pheromones and Other Bioregulators\u003c\/i\u003e is an introduction to the techniques and strategies for the synthesis of biofunctional small molecules.
