From the reviews:"This book presents the lectures given at the Ernst Schering Foundation Workshop on the titled subject held in Berlin in August/September, 2006. Some of the new technologies in chemical synthesis that are discussed here include microreactor chemistry, nanotechnology and catalysis research, microwave-assisted organic synthesis, and new developments in solid supported synthesis. The book was designed to appeal to scientists in the pharmaceutical industry and academics interested in chemical synthesis for drug discovery and development."
