Houben-Weyl
Methods of Organic Chemistry

Houben-Weyl is the acclaimed reference series for preparative methods in organic chemistry, in which all methods are organized according to the class of compound or functional group to be synthesized.

Contains 146 000 product-specific experimental procedures,
580 000 structures, and 700 000 references!

The preparative significance of the methods for all classes of compounds is critically evaluated.

The series includes data from as far back as the early 1800s to the present day.

Houben–Weyl has developed over a period spanning four generations of researchers (see History). The foremost chemists of each generation had different and more exacting requirements for Houben-Weyl, and as such the reference series has become a vast literary work, providing researchers with a comprehensive and evaluated source of methods.

Due to the continued significance of Houben-Weyl's content, the 4th edition and E-series are still available in print.

Today’s chemists need reference works to be easily and quickly available to them. To this end, Houben–Weyl has evolved into an electronic product that allows you to find any of the 146 000 experimental procedures at the touch of a button.
