Science of Synthesis Version 3.10

Release date: September 2010


Thieme Publishing Group today announced the release of Science of Synthesis 3.10. Science of Synthesis is a comprehensive online resource providing users with convenient access to highly evaluated chemical information from leading experts in the field. With this most recent upgrade, Science of Synthesis now covers all fields of organic chemistry from organometallics to alkanes. Covered topics will be continuously updated and additional content will be added to this electronic reference through multiple releases per year.


The electronic information resource now contains 48 volumes. This upgraded version has a total of over 265,000 reactions, with over 14,000 new reactions, 1,224,000 structures, 29,000 methods, 23,000 experimental procedures and holds significant synthetic methods for a wide range of classes of compounds.

 

New content consists of:


"All of the Science of Synthesis volumes published to date are now available online, which means that over 265,000 expert-evaluated reactions as well as more then 29,000 selected methods are easily accessible. This release includes a variety of topics including compounds containing nitrogen functionalities such as N-nitroamines--used as propellants, fuels and explosives; carbon—carbon double bond-containing functionalities i.e. alkenes--important for the petrochemical industry; and last but not least acyclic as well as cyclic alkanes, which are found in nature, and hydrocarbon polymers--used for plastic materials," says M. Fiona Shortt de Hernandez, Managing Editor Science of Synthesis.


The information resource current consists of six categories. From 2010 onwards the existing volumes in this resource will be complemented by a variety of organic synthesis specialist topic reference works.
