The first volume of this work contains more than 1,000 reagents of use to organic chemists. Entries are alphabetical and include structural formula, molecular weight, physical constraints, and preferred method of preparation. Subsequent volumes describe additional reagents and add new information for reagents previously described. King, R. Bruce. Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry.
Entries are cross-referenced.
An outline of topics is included in each volume. A Guide to Functional Group Preparations. VCH Publishers, c1989. A single volume work that seeks to provide information comparable to that found in Reagents for Organic Synthesis. Consists of a listing of reagents with formulas and illustrations.
