Science of Synthesis as a Teaching Resource: Useful Links
- The chapters denoted with a * are those which the editorial office feel might be particularly useful from a teaching perspective. This generally means that there is a broad coverage of the topic in question, and this is often supplemented in the discussion text with significant details of aspects such as mechanisms, selectivity, scope/limitations, practical examples, etc.
- We are often complimented on the clarity of the schemes and figures in Science of Synthesis; if you would like to be supplied with the original drawings for any particular chapter to aid with the preparation of course materials, then please just get in touch with the editorial office (SOS_techsupport@thieme.com).
