STM publisher Thieme Publishing Group, Germany, has announced the launch of Science of Synthesis Version 3.9, an online resource that provides highly evaluated chemical information from leading experts in the field. This critical treatment of synthetic chemistry claims to be one of the most authoritative, in-depth information resources available on synthetic methodology. It contains comprehensive coverage of the entire field of organic chemistry from all published and readily available sources from the early 1800s until the present.
With this upgraded version, 45 out of the 48 printed volumes are now available online. Over 14,000 new reactions and an additional 1,545 experimental procedures have been added to this release. There are currently a total of 252,000 reactions and more than 32,000 experimental procedures available.
Developed in cooperation with InfoChem, Science of Synthesis possesses a user-friendly search function that allows substructure, exact structure, reaction, combined keyword, and full-text searches. Within the application, a structure search is quick and easy since users have the ability to choose between multiple structure drawing tools (ISIS Draw, Java Applet, and ChemDraw). Its compatibility with SFX assists librarians in navigating literature requests of Science of Synthesis users to resources and services relevant to their search queries.
Science of Synthesis Version 3.9 is fully compatible with both Windows and Macintosh and supports Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari browsers.
