LIST OF JOURNALS

"Solvent-free Organic Synthesis is a long-needed and timely compilation of experimental procedures that do not use solvents during the reaction step. Even better, it also includes numerous syntheses that do not require solvents after the reaction for extraction, chromatography, or recrystallization, because they yield pure products in the absence of auxiliaries...This is a must-have book for all students (perhaps through libraries) and academic or industrial researchers who honestly want to use and improve sustainable syntheses, and can also be recommended for administrators and referees who control the funding of such endeavors for the well-being of our environment."
