The new updated version of the product has now expanded encompassing the content of two further volumes:

• Volume 6
• Volume 15
• Volume 19
• Volume 26
  

Volume 6, is one out of 8 volumes in Category 1: Organometallics and covers the extremely broad spectrum of the organometallic and organic chemistry of boron.

With the inclusion of Volume 15, Category 2: Hetarenes (Volumes 9–17) has become the first category in the Science of Synthesis series to be completed. Volume 15 deals with major hetarenes such as pyridines, quinolines and isoquinolines, including the related pyridinones, quinolinones and isoquinolinones, but also the quinolizinium salts, naphthyridines, acridines (and acridinones), and phenanthridines (and phenanthridinones), and the related phosphorus systems.

Volume 19 is the first Volume to be published online in Category 3: Four and Three Carbon–Heteroatom Bonds, covering the synthesis of nitrile oxides, nitrile sulfides, nitrile imines, nitrilium salts, nitrile ylides, nitriles, phosphaalkynes, and carbon- and heteroatom-bound isocyanides.

Volume 26 is the second Volume to be published in Category 4: Compounds with Two Carbon–Heteroatom Bonds, dealing with aliphatic and alicyclic ketones, cyclobutanones and cyclopropanones, 1,2-diketones and related compounds, α, α-dihetero- and α-heterosubstituted ketones, ynones, enones, saturated and unsaturated ketones with an additional functional group at a β- or more remote position, and finally saturated and unsaturated ketones with a heteroatom at a β- or more remote position.
