These reasons, and especially the latter, are the major reasons why synthetic chemists have become interested in biocatalysis.
The ability to form such diverse products makes Meldrum's acid a very useful reagent for synthetic chemists.
Woodward was perhaps the first synthetic organic chemist who used these ideas as a predictive framework in synthesis.
These developments showed more generally how computational techniques could be useful tool for synthetic organic chemists.
