Meet the challenge! The time has come for organic chemists to devise more economically and ecologically sustainable strategies for multistep synthesis. One way to meet this challenge is to achieve protecting‐group‐free total synthesis. The recent progress accomplished in the field of catalyzed reactions will help chemists to meet this challenge (see figure; PG=protecting group).
