“The complexity of the problem arises from the need to accommodate highly interactive functionality in a rather compact matrix and to orchestrate the chemical progression such as to expose and maintain vulnerable structural elements as the synthesis unfolds. The synthesis of a mitomycin is the chemical equivalent of walking on egg shells.” Danishefsky, S. J.; Scheryantz, J. M. Synlett.1995, 475.
