From Karger Publishers:

"Published biannually, these books provide a key research tool for accessing synthetic methods back to 1945 with updated information on new developments in synthetic organic chemistry. They are based on an original presentation of data according to reaction type.

Readers can

• gain access to specific methodologies


• keep abreast of developments in established reactions


• browse for information in a generic sense

500 informative abstracts per volume describe new reactions and synthetic methods reported in the world-wide scientific literature. Each abstract is introduced with a concise title, followed by a clear depiction of a typical reaction, the corresponding experimental section, and comments on scope, limitation and any specific advantages.

Numerous supplementary references provide updates on established procedures. Each Theilheimer volume is supported by an in-depth, heavily cross-referenced Subject Index, uniquely devised for functional group retrieval, and enabling the user to locate reactions from both the product and starting material aspects.

The current volume in this renowned series is based on the journal literature published up to March 2005. A Reviews section (inclusive of data published up to September 2005) is also included, and the volume is introduced with a Trends section focusing on the very recent developments which will form the basis of volume 69."
