Full-text resource for methods in synthetic organic chemistry

Science of Synthesis provides a critical review of the synthetic methodology developed from the early 1800s to date for the entire field of organic and organometallic chemistry. As the only resource providing full-text descriptions of organic transformations and synthetic methods as well as experimental procedures, Science of Synthesis is therefore a unique chemical information tool, which is complementary to the usual reference databases.

Methods selected, reviewed and continually updated by 1.000 experts

World-renowned experts have chosen the most important molecular transformations for a class of organic compounds and elaborated on their scope and limitations. They update the content regularly with new information and specialist topics of particular interest to the synthetic chemist. Four annual releases/volumes updating content across all categories ensure that you always have access to state-of-the-art synthetic methodology.

Logical organization of functional groups

The systematic, logical and consistent organization of the synthetic methods for each functional group enables users to quickly find out which methods are useful for a particular synthesis and which are not.

Immediately applicable in the lab

Effective and practical experimental procedures can also be implemented quickly and easily in the lab. This enables the chemist to get started immediately with the design and planning of a synthesis.

Highlighting special fields – the Reference Library

The Science of Synthesis Reference Library, a specialist topic reference work series, is part of and complements the topics of Science of Synthesis. It features the best and most reliable methods in a special field and highlights new angles and perspectives of importance in organic synthesis. All special topics are fully integrated with Science of Synthesis and are part of the subscription.
