Organic Syntheses

Organic Syntheses (abbreviated as Org Synth. Respectively Org Synth. Coll Vol. ) Is a scientific journal from the United States, which addresses since 1921 with an annual collection of detailed and checked procedures for the synthesis of organic compounds at Chemist. The magazine has a good reputation, because each preparation method is verified by an independent group of chemists in kg scale.

History

Organic Syntheses began his story April 1917, as a result of the entry of the U.S. into World War II, chemical shipments from Europe were no longer possible. In response, the University of Illinois founded summer working groups, in which students worked on the optimization of synthesis methods for specialty chemicals in 100g up to 1kg scale.

An example of much needed chemicals in World War II were dyes for sensitization of photographic film. From the study group showed the Research Department of Organic Chemistry of Eastman Kodak after 1950.

Publication

The synthetic method of the summer working groups were published 1919-1921 as brochures and from 1921 as a magazine called Organic Syntheses. In the following years also found rules of industrial laboratories and other universities access.

The expenditure of Organic Syntheses appear as an annual volumes ( "Annual Volume", currently 85 volumes) and are at greater intervals in anthologies ( " Collective Volume", currently 10 volumes) summarized. The anthologies contain different from the annual volumes of any necessary editorial amendments to the written procedures.

Members of the American Chemical Society and the Section Organic Syntheses annually receive a personal copy of the latest annual band. 1998, the Board decided to publish all the previous and current issues of Organic Syntheses freely on the Internet.

Validation

A major strength of the labor regulations in Organic Syntheses is that they must have been checked prior to publication of an independent appraiser experimentally the same scale. However, this also led to a small weakness of Organic Syntheses, that many provisions appear to be relatively specific. However, you can find there many synthetic protocols for standard preparations of organic chemistry.
