Methods in Organic Synthesis

"Methods in Organic Synthesis (MOS) is an alerting service covering the most important current developments in organic synthesis. It is designed with the synthetic organic chemist in mind, providing informative reaction schemes and covering new reactions and new methods. The information is available in a printed publication, as a text-searchable web database and as a PC/mainframe, structure searchable database (via Accelrys Ltd).

Methods in Organic Synthesis (MOS) provides quick, cost-effective access to important new developments in organic synthesis. It covers such topics as new reactions and reagents, functional group changes, the introduction of chiral centres, and enzyme and biological transformations. Items are selected for inclusion in MOS only where there is detail of novel or interesting features in organic synthetic methods so that there are no routine preparations to plough through. Each MOS item includes reaction schemes, title and bibliographic details, and the items are categorised by five indexes: Author, Product, Reaction, Reactant and Reagent. The MOS Online allows users to search across items published in MOS from January 2000 to date. The most recent issue can easily be displayed from the search page."
