Science of Synthesis Version 3.6

Release date: August 2008


Thieme is pleased to announce that Science of Synthesis Version 3.6 is now available. Science of Synthesis, a comprehensive critical treatment of synthetic organic chemistry, is one of the most authoritative, in-depth information resources available on synthetic methodology.


The electronic information resource now contains 38 volumes, out of what will eventually be a total of 48 volumes. This upgraded version has a total of 215,000 reactions, with over 20,000 new reactions, and holds significant synthetic methods for a wide range of classes of compounds.

 

New content consists of: 


The addition of volume 44 starts the last category of Science of Synthesis, All-Carbon Functions.

"It is the consistent quality of the content in Science of Synthesis, as well as its usefulness and applicability in solving everyday synthetic organic chemistry problems encountered in the laboratory, that sets this reference work apart. The additional four volumes added to this release cover the synthetic methodology used in the preparation of some of the most common and important functional groups used in organic synthesis (e.g., ethers, hydroxyl group), as well as some of the more unusual and challenging functionalities (e.g., allenes), and those functionalities considered important for industrial research (e.g., organosulfur compounds)," states M. Fiona Shortt de Hernandez, Managing Editor Science of Synthesis.


The information resource consists of six categories, of which the first three categories are now complete.
