Organic Reactions

About this reference work

Simplify your selection process. Distilled data. Improved efficiency.

Organic Reactions is a comprehensive online resource for synthetic organic chemists. It focuses on ca. 300 of the most important and useful synthetic reaction types. Individual examples of each reaction type are cataloged and reviewed by trained chemists (rather than machine selected), resulting in a high quality critical discussion of the scope, selectivity, practicality, and reproducibility of a given reaction.

Each reaction review provides:

• An in-depth discussion of the reaction mechanism, the reaction conditions and experimental procedures

• A discussion of the scope and limitations of the reaction

• Dedicated compilations of information about each reaction including extensive tables that catalog published examples of the reaction in the literature, as well as safety and procedural guidance to help ensure safety and success in their execution

“...the challenge for the practitioner is no longer to locate all of the literature on the subject, but rather, how to critically and efficiently digest it. Organic Reactions chapters are much more than a surfeit of primary references; they constitute a distillation of an avalanche of information into the knowledge needed to correctly implement a reaction.”
