Other recommendations
Is it possible to restart the subscription to Heterocycles? Impact factor 1.066 (Tom Beale)
e-EROS is the online version of the Encyclopedia of Regents for Organic Synthesis (http://www.mrw.interscience.wiley.com/eros/). This is a tremendously valuable resource for organic chemists. The online version is continuously updated with new entries, as well as additional content for older entries. I recommend priority 1 status for this resource. (David J. France)
Thanks for these recommendations - noted. (Judith)
Methods in Enzymology is generally a very useful periodical.
