Organic Syntheses consists of protocols for the synthesis of useful chemical com-pounds. For each protocol, safety warnings are presented along with detailed experimental de-scriptions for the preparation, purification, and identification of the compound. Additionally, special reaction conditions are also detailed, along with the source of reagents, waste disposal information, a discussion of the results, references to the primary literature, and an appendix of nomenclature and registry numbers.
