2 METHODS IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS January 2005

Editorial
Structure-searchable access to Methods in Organic Synthesis
Welcome to your new look Methods in Organic Synthesis.
The design and layout of the print version have been
modernised, following positive feedback about the design of
the sister title Catalysts & Catalysed Reactions. I hope that
you find the new design easier to browse in print.
Free Trial
The Methods in Organic Synthesis Database is available in a
user-friendly, structure-searchable format produced by
Accelrys, Inc. Similar to the print version from the RSC, the
database has been designed with the synthetic organic
chemist in mind. It contains data from Methods in Organic
Synthesis from 1991 onwards. There are currently over
40,000 reactions and this is growing at the rate of
approximately 3,500 new reactions each year. The MOS
database has been designed for use with the popular Accord
and ISIS reaction-retrieval systems on both desktop and
client/server platforms. It is compatible with reaction
databases supplied by Accelrys and other reputable
database vendors, as well as with in-house systems built
using the same database systems.
We have negotiated a free trial of the structure-searchable
database from Accelrys for RSC subscribers along with a
discount for those who then subscribe to the database. For
more details and to arrange a free trial, contact
mos@rsc.org.
With best wishes for 2005
