Science of Synthesis Version 3.7 is Available
The Largest Collection of Expert Evaluated Organic Synthetic Methods in the World Available Online
Science of Synthesis provides highly evaluated chemical information from leading experts in a concise and selective manner. It contains comprehensive coverage of the whole field of organic chemistry based on all published and readily available sources from the early 1800s until the year of publication.
Clear and systematic, Science of Synthesis provides practical solutions and offers a route through the mass of information available in the primary literature. This one-stop reference tool is:
- Comprehensive: Contains synthetic models selected by world-renowned experts, with full experimental procedures and background information.
- Reliable: The international editorial board is made up of distinguished chemists with unparalleled experience and competence.
- Logical and easy-to-navigate: Information is organized in a hierarchical system based on the compound or functional group to be synthesized.
- Authoritative: Critically evaluates the preparative applicability and significance of the synthetic methods.
- Wide-ranging: Considers methods from journals, books, and patent literature from the early 1800s up to the present day and presents important synthetic methods for all classes of compounds.
Science of currently contains contributions from more than 700 scientists worldwide in both industry and academia.
Science of Synthesis provides a comprehensive critical treatment of synthetic organic chemistry and is one of the most authoritative, in-depth information resources available on synthetic methodology. This upgraded version brings two more volumes online.
“The publication of a further two volumes of Science of Synthesis online brings the total number of volumes to 40, making this the largest collection of expert evaluated organic synthetic methods available online worldwide. The additional subject areas covered include the heteroatom-substituted alkenes (Volume 32) and the alkynes (Volume 43). Both volumes detail the classical routes of product class preparation, in addition to covering newer methodology, and, perspectives in organic synthesis for the 21st century,” says Dr. M. Fiona Shortt de Hernandez, Managing Editor, Science of Synthesis.
Significant synthetic methods for a wide range of classes of compounds are held by the information resource, which now contains 40 volumes out of what will eventually be a total of 48. The upgrade brings the total number of reactions to over 222,000 with 8,000 new reactions. With the addition of volume 32, Category 4 (out of what will eventually total 6 categories) is complete. Category 1–4 are all available online for the first time.
Developed in cooperation with InfoChem, Science of Synthesis possesses a user-friendly search function that allows substructure, exact structure, reaction, combined keyword, and full-text searches. Within the application, a structure search is quick and easy since users have the ability to choose between multiple structure drawing tools (ISIS Draw, Java Applet, and ChemDraw). Its compatibility with SFX (locally known as “Find it at Stanford”) helps users to easily navigate to the full-text of references included in search results.
Science of Synthesis Version 3.7 is fully compatible with both Windows and Macintosh and supports Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari browsers.
