Fused Five-Membered Hetarenes with One Heteroatom (Volume 10)
"In summary, Volume 10 in the Science of Synthesis series
provides a treasured database with a level of organization
that will make a welcome addition to the field. It will be
indispensable to any serious modern practitioner of chemical
synthesis in industrial and academic institutions in the
varied disciplines of chemical sciences. The tome should
be invaluable to discovery, medicinal, and process chemists
alike, providing a wealth of information and data in
conveniently accessed form."

Five-Membered Hetarenes with Two Nitrogen or Phosphorus Atoms (Volume 12)
"Overall the book is extremely well written; clear diagrams
and tables are provided throughout, and the subject index
and the detailed contents list make navigation of the 700
pages fairly straightforward. This book would be a very welcome
addition to any library, where it would complement
other similar works on heterocyclic chemistry."

Six-Membered Hetarenes with One Chalcogen (Volume 14)
"While, by the Volume Editor’s own admission, Science
of Synthesis is not intended to be comprehensive, this
volume shares, with all its predecessors in this series, the
broad subject coverage, high level of critical assessment,
exhaustive referencing and inclusion of illustrative reaction
protocols which will make the complete work (if the
term ‘complete’ can ever be applied to such an immense
project) a truly unique production in the area of organic
chemistry. Each volume deservedly becomes an essential
institutional reference work from the day that it is published.
However, no matter how praiseworthy the aims of
Science of Synthesis, the project would fail without the
ability, enthusiasm and hard work of the contributing
authors and the overriding diligence of each Volume Editor.
In Volume 14 the Science of Synthesis series has
been well served by its team of contributors."

Award for
Barry M. Trost
We would like to congratulate Barry M. Trost, Editorial Board Member, Science of Synthesis, on being awarded the Nagoya Gold Medal Prize of Organic Chemistry 2008. The Nagoya Medal Prize (Gold Medal) has been awarded every year since 1995 to an organic chemist who has made significant original contributions to the field, in its broadest sense. The recipient of the Gold Medal 2008, Barry M. Trost, will deliver the Nagoya Medal Award Lecture on October 31, 2008 at Nagoya University in Nagoya, Japan.
The Gold Medal Award Lecture is entitled:
1 "Self Assembly of Dinuclear Main Group Catalysts for Asymmetric Synthesis"
2 "Cycloadditions via TMM-Pd Intermediates: New Strategies for Total Synthesis and Asymmetric Induction"
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.
