Science of Synthesis Original Edition

Science of Synthesis provides a critical review of the synthetic methodology in the fields of organic and organometallic chemistry. This reference work is produced by the collaborative efforts of chemists, from both industry and academia, selected by the Editorial Board and Volume Editors.

Science of Synthesis, Houben–Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations was launched in 2000 and was edited by D. Bellus (Basel, Switzerland), E. N. Jacobsen (Cambridge, USA), S. V.Ley (Cambridge, UK), R. Noyori (Nagoya, Japan), M. Regitz (Kaiserslautern, Germany), P. J. Reider (Princeton, USA), E. Schaumann (Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany), I. Shinkai (Tokyo, Japan), E. J. Thomas (Manchester, UK), and B. M. Trost (Stanford, USA).

The series comprises 48 volumes that were published between 2000 and 2010. It includes 28,000 generally applicable synthetic methods and 250,000 reactions for over 2,700 different kinds of organic compounds.
