Considering organisms as a target for late stage functionalization (LSF). (a) Classical consideration of approaching small molecules for “LSF” and the associated needed modes of selectivity in chemical synthesis. (b) A suggested use of the LSF strategy for living organisms. How might one achieve layered levels of selectivity from the organismal to biomolecular that would then complement (“sit on top of”) the classical?
