Theilheimer's Synthetic Methods of Organic Chemistry (PDF)

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 79 comprises: ·546 graphical abstracts covering the mainstream organic chemistry literature to May 2011 ·A summary of reviews covering the six-month period to September 2011, collated into easily-accessible sections ·An informed commentary on research trends during the six-month period to November 2011
