The First 3 Editions

From 1909 to 1951:

The series “Methoden der Organischen Chemie“ (Houben-Weyl Methods of Organic Chemistry) was established in 1909 by the German chemist Theodor Weyl and continued in 1913 by Heinrich J. Houben.

For a biography of these two German chemists, click here.


Heinrich J. Houben Berlin, Germany	Theodor Weyl Leipzig, Germany

The comprehensive description of preparative methods in a consistent style and their critical evaluation by leading experts is the philosophy on which Houben-Weyl was founded.

A complete volume list of the first 3 editions (1901–1951) is available in pdf format.
