"This book is clearly timely and fills an important niche. The chemical practitioner will find it an excellent resource…it also is a useful beginning point for students…" (Journal of the American Chemical Society, June 21, 2006)

"This text should be welcomed by anyone involved in the practice or teaching of organic synthesis…" (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, April 20, 2006)

“…a handsome little book…I expect it to become a must for anyone who has any pretensions to the practice of organic synthesis…” (Chemistry World, 1^st February 2006)

"This book will be an excellent addition to the collections of chemistry departments' libraries. Not only graduate students but also leaders of research groups will benefit from reading it, and will also enjoy simply dipping into it. Number four is the winner!" (Angewandte Chemie)

"I am...looking forward to having this...reference guide for all new students in our laboratory." (Journal Of Medical Chemistry 2006, Vol 49 No.8)
