- Reagents for organic synthesis. (Fieser's)
- (Wiley, 1967- )
- QD 262 F5 Reference
- Classic compendium of common and new reagents including preferred methods of preparation, supply sources, critical comments, reaction diagrams and structural formulas, and many literature references. Arranged alphabetically with subject, author, and reagent indexes in each volume. There is a cumulative index for vols. 1-22. The Aldrich Catalog gives Fieser references for many compounds and acts as a alternate index.

- (Elsevier, 2005)
- QD 291 K87 2005 Reference
- Concise summaries of the mechanisms and applications of 250 named reactions, with extensive illustrations and literature references.
- Theilheimer's synthetic methods of organic chemistry.
- (Karger, 1940- )
- QD 262 S9675 Book Stacks
- Semiannual (formerly annual) compendium of synthetic reaction information drawn from a cognate publication, the Journal of Synthetic Methods, and from the non-patent literature. Theilheimer's is reaction-based: only general reaction types are included, and most heterocyclic chemistry is excluded. Reactions must have high yield and give full experimental procedures, and meet one or more of these criteria:
- novel reactions, methods or reagents of synthetic interest
- significant modifications or interesting applications of known reactions
- reviews
Reactions are classified according to 1) bond formed, 2) reaction type, and 3) bond broken, in that order. Each volume has a subject index listing classes of compounds as either starting materials or products, and these are cumulated at five-year intervals. Name reactions and reaction types are usually avoided. Each volume also includes a listing of Supplementary References to modifications or improvements to reactions from earlier volumes. Lastly, each volume's introduction is a review article highlighting developments in the field during the year in question. Theilheimer's complex and arcane arrangement makes it difficult to use. UT's subscription was dropped in 2009.
