Science of Synthesis.

Full-text resource for methods in synthetic organic chemistry

Science of Synthesis provides a critical review of the synthetic methodology in the field of organic and organometallic chemistry.

Authoritative full-text descriptions and experimental procedures

As the only resource providing full-text descriptions of organic transformations and synthetic methods as well as experimental procedures, Science of Synthesis is a unique chemical information tool. Its insightful, didactic reviews by experts add real value to your online reference collection.

Easily accessible and searchable

Science of Synthesis is easily accessible via a modern Web interface. The intuitive search function allows rapid lead generation and route optimization. Search results are illustrated with detailed reaction schemes and can be saved in a MySoS account , as well as personal settings and search queries. All chapters can be printed and downloaded as PDFs.

Methods selected, reviewed and continually updated by 1,000 experts

World-renowned experts have chosen the most important molecular transformations for a class of organic compounds and elaborated on their scope and limitations. They update the content regularly with new information and special topics of particular interest to the synthetic chemist.

Logically organized by functional group

The systematic, logical and consistent organization of the synthetic methods for each functional group enables users to quickly find out which methods are useful for a particular synthesis and which are not.

Immediately applicable in the lab

Effective and practical experimental procedures can also be implemented quickly and easily in the lab. This enables the chemist to get started immediately with the design and planning of a synthesis.

Highlighting special fields – the Reference Library

The Reference Library features the best methods in special fields of importance in organic synthesis. All special topics are fully integrated with Science of Synthesis and included in the license fee without further costs.

Including the Houben-Weyl archive

In addition, Science of Synthesis includes a backfile with the complete Houben-Weyl series, published between 1909 and 2003 and stretching back to methods of the 1800s. The backfile documents are available in PDF format and their tables of content are text searchable.
