Current Synthetic Methodology (CSM)

This database contains the most innovative and significant reactions since 1992, emphasizing new synthetic methodologies, reactions that use new reagents or an important modification of known reagents, and regio-, chemo-, and stereoselective reactions carried out on multifunctional substrates. CSM updates the Reference Library of Synthetic Methodology, selecting representative novel methodologies to illustrate specific synthetic techniques. The collection is selected, abstracted, and organized by FIZ CHEMIE Berlin.
