Workbench Editions

In association with the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry, Thieme Chemistry is proud to announce the publication of:

Science of Synthesis
Hetarenes and Related Ring Systems
The Workbench Edition, 10-volume Set

This key reference work on the chemistry of Hetarenes and Related Ring Systems has been published between 2000 and 2004. It is the second out of six categories of the 48-volume reference work Science of Synthesis: Houben–Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations.

Over 100 expert organic synthesis authors contributed to the 9 944 pages that beautifully present the very best synthetic methods available thereby covering over 53 000 organic and organometallic reactions. Each product class illustrated contains introductory text, background information, critically evaluated methods and variations, schemes, tables, detailed experimental procedures, and expert tips. This work is considered to be the ultimate organic synthesis teaching and planning tool for all academics, postgraduates, and research scientists.

To help you navigate through the nine volume series easily and access the information you need quickly a cumulative index will also be provided. The cumulative index will contain tables of contents for all volumes, a keyword index and author index as well as structural templates and name reactions.
