The First 3 Editions

From 1909 to 1951:

The series “Methoden der Organischen Chemie“ (Houben-Weyl Methods of Organic Chemistry) was established in 1909 by the German chemist Theodor Weyl and continued in 1913 by Heinrich J. Houben.


Heinrich J. Houben Berlin, Germany	Theodor Weyl Leipzig, Germany

The comprehensive description of preparative methods in a consistent style and their critical evaluation by leading experts is the philosophy on which Houben-Weyl was founded.

A complete volume list of the first 3 editions (1901-1951) is available in pdf format.
