Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis (Title varies)  Reference QD 262.F5  This book is provided not only with a subject and an author index but also with an index of types, that is, types of reactions or types of compounds. The reagents are listed in alphabetical order by common usage name. A few are old reagents recently reintroduced into modern research.  Examples: Volume2: 9-Borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) Preparation. Hydroboration. Synthesis of 9-alkylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonanols-9.
	Organic Syntheses: an Annual Publication of Satisfactory Methods for the Preparation of Organic Chemicals (CSUF does not own all volumes)       Books QD262.O72a Complete methods for preparing selected compounds, with subject indexes for each volume (plus some cumulated indexes for several years) by compound name, types of reactions, etc.
	Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3d ed.        Reference QD262.G665 Includes protection for hydroxyl groups, phenols and catechols, carbonyl groups, carboxyl groups, thiol groups, amino groups, alkyne--CH, and phosphate groups.  Also includes charts of relative reactivities.
	Synthetic Methods of Organic Chemistry (title varies, CSUF does not own all volumes)        Books QD262.S94 or QD262.S95 Year-by-year references to chemical literature dealing with the synthesis of organic compounds.  Arranged systematically by reaction, with subject index (methods, types of compounds, reagents, etc.) and a formula index.

Preparative inorganic reactions  Books QD155.J64 These volumes are collections of research papers.  The chapters have been written to provide information on the synthetic principles that can be applied to new compounds of the same class and also to preparation of entirely different classes of compounds.

Inorganic syntheses  Books QD151.I5 This series provides users of inorganic substances with safe and reliable procedures for the preparation of important and timely compounds by experienced or inexperienced users.  Contains summary of available procedures, estimate of time required, indication of importance and utility of the product and any hazards associated with the procedure.  Indexes include contributor, subject, formula and CAS Registry number.

Named Organic Reactions  Reference QD291.L3513 This book is rather a reference work on name reactions. The book deals with 134 of the most important reactions in organic chemistry. The reactions are arranged in alphabetical order. The name of the reaction serves as a heading, and is followed by a subtitle giving an one sentence description of the reaction. Then follows a formula scheme depicting the overall reaction, and an initial paragraph with an introductory description of the reaction. The major part of each section deals with mechanistic aspects. Side-reactions, variants and modified procedures with respect to product distribution and yields are described. At the end of each section, a list of references is given.  Examples: Aldol Reaction:  Reaction of aldehydes or ketones to give hydroxy carbonyl compounds. The addition of the carbon of an enolizable aldehyde or ketone to the carbonyl group of a second aldehyde or ketone is called the aldol reaction. Hydroboration:  Addition of boranes to alkenes, Borane adds to carbon-carbon double bonds without the need of catalytic activation. This reaction has been discovered and thoroughly investigated by H. C. Brown, and is called hydroboration.

Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis Reference QD77.E53: A particular reagent can be found either directly, by going to the appropriate place in the Encyclopedia, or from the Subject Index in Volume 8. Types of reaction, named reaction, named reagents, general substrates or products, and specific substrates or products, are included in this index. ·  Subject Index Example: Br-9-BBN - see 9-Bromo-9-borabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane, 1, 705  Reagent Formula Index Example: C8H14BBr 9-Bromo-9-borabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane, 1, 705 Reagent Structural Class Index Example: Bromine reagents: Bromide ion sources 9-Bromo-9-borabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane, 1, 705 Reagent Function Index Example:  Borylating reagents 9-Bromo-9-borabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane, 1, 705 Deoxygenation Sulfoxides Using 9-Bromo-9-borabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane, 1, 705 Hydroborating reagents9-Borabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane,         1,     622

Dictionary of Organic Compounds  Reference QD246.D5:  This dictionary is arranged by element, and then by molecular formula in Hill convention order (i.e., C, then H, then other elements in alphabetical order.) Brief synthetic details are provided for the majority of compounds, with the aim of appraising the reader with the kind of routes available. Formulae are frequently abbreviated. For full details of conditions necessary to effect transformations, refer to literature citations.  Volume 5: Index of Synthetic Reagents Example: Aldol reaction 9-Bromo-9-borabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane, B-00438, C8H14BB Molecular Formula Index Example: C8H14BBr 9-Bromo-9-borabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane, B-00438 CAS Registry Number Index Example: 22086-45-9 9-Bromo-9-borabicyclo [3.3.1] nonane, B-00438
