Subject index organic matter

This index comprises subject matter from Volumes 55 through 59. For subjects in previous volumes, see the cumulative index in Volume 54 which covers Volumes 50 through 54, and either the cumulative indices in each of the Collective Volumes I-V, or the single volume entitled Organic Syntheses, Collective Volumes I, II, III, IV, V, Cumulative Indices, edited by R. L. Shriner and R. H. Shriner. 

Furthermore, to avoid a jungle of references, papers are not included, if their content does not fit the subject matter of Synthetic Methods and if they can be found easily in the indexes of the abstract journals. Less accessible papers, such as the Russian or Japanese ones, are only abstracted, as a rule, if the method in question is described nowhere else. Since publications dealing with organic chemistry are increasing from year to year, some unintentional omissions may occur. Therefore, the editor will be grateful if they are brought to his attention.
