Check out this little gem of a synthesis, credited to EJ Corey, the esteemed developer of retrosynthesis: Trabectedin (from Wikipedia). Astounding.
My Synthesis professor in grad school used Corey's book as a foundation for our course and told us his (not Corey's) 9 days in jail for a BUI offense provided a stretch of uninterrupted time for reading. The book is called The Logic of Chemical Synthesis, and it's becoming a classic.

Exactly! After a few DUIs a BUI is about all you can manage. And some people do.
