Science of Synthesis Houben-Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations is the entirely new edition of the acclaimed reference series, Houben–Weyl, the standard synthetic chemistry resource since 1909. This new edition is published in English and is one of the most in-depth authoritative information sources available on synthetic methodology. To best meet the needs of the scientific community, Science of Synthesis is published not only in print format, but is also available as a fully interactive, text- and structure-searchable online information tool.

Houben–Weyl is the classic reference work that provides immediate access to approximately 146 000 experimental procedures, 580 000 target compounds, and 700 000 references covering the whole field of synthetic organic chemistry dating back to 1835. This digital archive is accessible through a text searchable table of contents and an intuitive structure template guide.
