 Description 
“Thieme's new Science of Synthesis ("Science of Synthesis, Houben-Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations") is intended to comprise 48 volumes with a completion date in 2008-2009. The online version of Science of Synthesis also includes access to the complete electronic backfile, containing editions 1, 2, 3, 4, and the E-series, of Houben-Weyl "Methods of Organic Chemistry" published from 1909-2004 (140 volumes). Houben-Weyl, a standard reference work for synthetic chemists, includes some 700,000 references to 580,000 structures and 146,000 product specific experimental procedures.

This new online edition features fully interactive text and structure searching. It will contain contributions eventually from 1000 authors on 18,000 experimental procedures for 180,000 reactions and 800,000 structures. Science of Synthesis contains information on 18 000 generally applicable experimental procedures, which include 180 000 reactions and 800 000 structures.”
