Most synthesis approaches of an array of discussed Natural Products have been explained adequately for the benefit and interest of the end-users of this unique complication of the Natural Products. The latest 'Merk Index' forms the basis of almost all the Chemical Structures so that the brilliant students, teachers, researchers, and scientists involved deeply in mustering the complicated task of 'Chemistry of Natural Products' into a rather easy, lucid, and simple comprehensive subject of great interest and fervor. The M.Sc. Students specializing in Chemistry, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Microbiology ,and other allied disciplines may find the present textbook a real pathfinder.</span><span style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; letter-spacing: 0.7px; font-size: 1rem;"><br></span></p>
