With this third volume in the series, the chapters have been grouped by topic. With this change, this volume becomes a practical field guide to recent developments in organic synthesis, from functional group transformations to complex total synthesis. The cumulative subject/transformation index that is also included as part of this volume covers all three volumes in this series. For many recent developments, such as organocatalysis, these volumes together provide a comprehensive overview of the field.

With the able assistance of Reto Mueller, webmaster of www.organic-chemistry.org, the Organic Highlights columns that are collected in this volume appeared weekly. These are still available, with active links to the journal articles cited.

The weekly Organic Highlights columns provide in-depth coverage of new developments across the field. Some topics, such as asymmetric organocatalysis and C-H functionalization, are often mentioned in the scientific press. Other topics, such as new methods for C-C bond construction, receive little popular notice, but are at least as important.

I often consult these volumes myself in my day-to-day work of teaching and research. These three volumes together (and the later biennial volumes that will follow) are a valuable resource that should be on the bookshelf of every practicing organic synthesis chemist.
