A comprehensive collection of methods in organic synthesis, based upon the historic Houben–Weyl Methoden der Organischen Chemie. Published since 2000 as Science of Synthesis by Thieme, this series is updated quarterly. The ebook series is searchable by text or chemical structure or reaction, and accepts both molfile and ChemDraw structure files as well.
Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis: systematic and exhaustive coverage of reagents (both classical and new) used in organic chemistry. Can be searched by browsing through an A-Z list of reagent names, by entry author, or by structure/reaction. Entries include include information on physical data, structure, preparation, and safety.
Contains over 11,500 monographs – including historic records not available in the print edition. Also has links to named reactions and a reference table of abbreviations and structures used in the Index. Updated regularly with accurate information curated by experts.
Electronic version containing all print columes and an A to Z listing of all reagents cited in synthetic literature with concise descriptions and illustrations of chemical reactions. All information about a particular reagent is collected in one single article. Thousands of entries abstract the most important information on commonly used and new reagents, including preparation, uses, sources of supply, critical comments, references and more.
