V Preface As our understanding of the natural world increases, we begin to understand complex phenomena at molecular levels. This level of understanding allows for the design of mo- lecular entities for functions ranging from material science to biology. Such design re- quires synthesis and, as the structures increase in complexity as a necessity for specifici- ty, puts increasing demands on the level of sophistication of the synthetic methods. Such needs stimulate the improvement of existing methods and, more importantly, the devel- opment of new methods. As scientists confront the synthetic problems posed by the mo- lecular targets, they require access to a source of reliable synthetic information. Thus, the need for a new, comprehensive, and critical treatment of synthetic chemistry has become apparent. To meet this challenge, an entirely new edition of the esteemed reference work Houben–Weyl Methods of Organic Chemistry will be published starting in the year 2000. To reflect the new broader need and focus, this new edition has a new title, Science of Synthesis, Houben–Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations. Science of Syn- thesis will benefit from more than 90 years of experience and will continue the tradition of excellence in publishing synthetic chemistry reference works. Science of Synthesis will be a balanced and critical reference work produced by the collaborative efforts of chemists, from both industry and academia, selected by the editorial board. All published results from journals, books, and patent literature from the early 1800s until the year of publication will be considered by our authors, who are among the leading experts in their field. The 48 volumes of Science of Synthesis will provide chemists with the most relia- ble methods to solve their synthesis problems. Science of Synthesis will be updated pe- riodically and will become a prime source of information for chemists in the 21st century. Science of Synthesis will be organized in a logical hierarchical system based on the target molecule to be synthesized. The critical coverage of methods will be supported by information intended to help the user choose the most suitable method for their applica- tion, thus providing a strong foundation from which to develop a successful synthetic route. Within each category of product, illuminating background information such as history, nomenclature, structure, stability, reactivity, properties, safety, and environmen- tal aspects will be discussed along with a detailed selection of reliable methods. Each method and variation will be accompanied by reaction schemes, tables of examples, ex- perimental procedures, and a background discussion of the scope and limitations of the reaction described. The policy of the editorial board is to make Science of Synthesis the ultimate tool for the synthetic chemist in the 21st century. We would like to thank all of our authors for submitting contributions of such out- standing quality, and, also for the dedication and commitment they have shown through- out the entire editorial process.
