Science of Synthesis Version 2.1

Release date: 16 November 2004.

Two New Volumes
The new updated version of the product has now expanded encompassing the content of two further volumes:
Volume 7
Volume 27

Volume 27 is the first Volume to be published in Category 4 of Science of Synthesis, Compounds with Two Carbon–Heteroatom Bonds, dealing with Heteroatom Analogues of Aldehydes and Ketones.

Enhanced Text Search Logic
The text search logic has been amended to discriminate between multiple word searching and searching for phrases by the use of quotation marks ("). A search for "allyl cation", for example, yields only hit documents, with the expression allyl cation in the text, while searching for allyl cation (without quotation marks) brings up an additional 25 documents where both terms (allyl and cation) are found, but have no logical connection.

Electronic Backfile
With the addition of the index volumes E23 a to p to the Electronic Backfile, every volume ever published in the Houben-Weyl series is now available in electronic format. Browsing between Science of Synthesis and Houben-Weyl is unrestricted and furthermore searching in Science of Synthesis also provides the relevant links to the Backfile.

Award for
Eric N. Jacobsen

We would like to congratulate Eric N. Jacobsen, Editorial Board Member, Science of Synthesis, on being awarded the Yamada–Koga Prize 2008 which is awarded every year to a scientist whose research has a major impact in the fields of the synthesis of optically active compounds. The Yamada–Koga Prize will be awarded to Professor Eric N. Jacobsen on November 14, 2008, at the 18th Symposium on Optically Active Compounds held in Tokyo, Japan.

Awards for
Steven V. Ley

We would like to congratulate Steven V. Ley, Editorial Board Member, Science of Synthesis, on receiving the Prous Institute-Overton and Meyer Award for New Technologies in Drug Discovery, European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry, Vienna (2008) and the Hans Heroff Inhoffen Medal, Helmholtz Zentrum für Infectionsforschung (2008).

Professor
John Colin Tatlow
(1923–2008)

We are very sorry to announce that Professor John Colin Tatlow passed away in the UK on April 9th, 2008. Professor Tatlow was the Editor-in-Chief of the E10 Organo-Fluorine Compounds (Houben–Weyl) series and made a major contribution to fluorine chemistry during his career. He was the recipient of the American Chemical Society Award for Creative Work in Fluorine Chemistry in 1990. We would like to extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Science of Synthesis
Version 3.5
New York/Stuttgart – Thieme is pleased to announce that Science of Synthesis Version 3.5 is now available. The electronic information resource now contains 34 volumes, out of what will eventually be a total of 48 volumes. This upgraded version has a total of 195,000 reactions, with over 18,000 new reactions, and holds significant synthetic methods for a wide range of classes of compounds. The newly added content consists of volumes 29 and 31

Volume Publication

Science of Synthesis
Volume 37
We are very pleased to announce the publication of Science of Synthesis Volume 37 [Compounds with One Saturated Carbon¾Heteroatom Bond: Ethers] by Craig J. Forsyth and Eric N. Jacobsen in May 2008.
