1. New graphical design for Organicworldwide.net

The portal site "Organic Chemistry Resources Worldwide" has a new graphical design. Over 30,000 visitors monthly and the first ranking in important search engines for the query "Organic Chemistry" reflect its continuing value for organic and medicinal chemists involved in industrial or academic research.

9. Synthline on the Web v. 2.0

Synthline® on the Web provides structure-searchable access to the schemes of synthesis for drugs currently on the market or in development worldwide. Each scheme is linked to its original reference citation(s) and to basic information for the end product synthesized, as well as to the chemical intermediates that intervene in the synthesis route.
