Theilheimer's Synthetic Methods of Organic Chemistry

This systematic survey of the mainstream organic chemistry literature, published six-monthly, provides a key research tool. Highlights include: - Examples abstracted to illustrate important new, generally applicable, synthetic methods - Abstracts summarizing the experimental procedure as well as indicating the scope and limitations of the method and important mechanistic features - Abstracts collated and organised into logical sections, affording a useful browsing tool - Comprehensive indexing and cross-referencing providing an invaluable research tool - More than 1000 graphical abstracts per year complemented by thousands of additional references, which comprise supplementary information, citations to previous abstracts, a review of reviews and informed commentary on latest trends - Available as 'ActiveBooks' - fully text-searchable online versions Each volume provides the organic chemist with an indispensable educational tool both for researching and browsing recent literature highlights in a way that is entirely complementary with searching electronic reaction databases. Extensive indexing and cross-referencing allows the series to grow, volume by volume, into an important reference work that deserves to be an integral part of any scientific library. Specifically, volume 81 comprises: - 500 graphical abstracts covering the mainstream organic chemistry literature to May 2012 - A summary of reviews covering the six-month period to November 2012, collated into easily-accessible sections - An informed commentary on research trends during the six-month period to December 2012
