Science of Synthesis

Thieme Cheminars is a series of free-to-attend online seminars that cover topics at the forefront of chemical research. These mini-symposia are presented by Science of Synthesis and Thieme's chemistry journals.

Take a look at this SOS case study by Yingmin Ji and Dr. Albert Granados at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona in Spain. It focuses on the synthesis of lactones and explains how to use SOS as a structure-based planning tool.

Stuttgart: Thieme has signed a German agreement with FID Chemie – Fachinformationsdienst Chemie to provide nationwide access to Science of Synthesis, our flagship synthetic chemistry reference database.

The new Science of Synthesis volume "Dearomatizations", edited by David Sarlah, serves as an essential reference, covering all aspects of dearomative chemistry, from classic transformations such as the Birch reduction to cutting-edge developments in asymmetric catalysis, photochemistry, and electrochemistry.
