Synthesis Reviews

1. Synthesis Reviews is a database with bibliographic information of 23,380 English review articles (from journals and books) of interest to synthetic organic chemists. It includes the previous version (which covered literature between 1970 and 2004) plus an update containing articles until the end of 2007. The database was compiled by

Professor Philip Kocienski
(E-mail: P.J.Kocienski@leeds.ac.uk) and
Dr. Krzysztof Jarowicki
(E-mail: K.Jarowicki@leeds.ac.uk)
School of Chemistry, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, U.K.
http://www.chem.leeds.ac.uk/

The authors do not accept responsibility for the accuracy, content, or selection of the data.

2. Synthesis Reviews is sponsored by Georg Thieme Verlag and is provided as a service to the synthetic community. Synthesis Reviews (covering the literature from 1970-1994) and the first supplement (covering the literature for the year 1995) was originally provided free on disks to all subscribers of SYNTHESIS published by Georg Thieme Verlag. Synthesis Reviews is not copy-protected and copies can be freely circulated. The version provided here combines the original database and supplements together with corrections. There will be semi-annual updates. Release dates of the updates will be announced on the SYNTHESIS website.

3. We supply the Synthesis Reviews database in four formats - two for the IBM and compatibles and two for the Macintosh:

The textfiles are supplied as compressed files and can be decompressed with Stuffit Expander (Mac version) or Aladdin Expander (MS DOS version). After decompression, these files can be opened by any word processor and searched using the usual word processor search functions. However, we recommend the use of the database in conjunction with EndNote (see below).

4. Endnote is a bibliographic management programme which provides a database for storing, sorting, managing, searching and editing bibliographic references. Used in conjunction with a word processor such as Microsoft Word, Endnote will generate bibliographies automatically. We have supplied the database as Endnote libraries which must be used in conjunction with the EndNote program (see below). However, the textfiles we provide are in Refer format (do NOT delete the % signs!) and ready for importation into EndNote.

5. Our EndNote libraries can also be viewed using the EndNote Demonstration Program which can be downloaded from http://www.endnote.com/endemo.asp.
