Recent Reviews. 28 compiled by Samuel H. Wilen Department of Chemistry, The City College, City University of New York,New York,New York 10031

Reviews are listed in order of appearance in the sources indicated. In multidisciplinary review journals, only those reviews which fall within the scope of this Journal are included. Sources are listed alphabetically in three categories: regularly issued review journals and series volumes, contributed volumes, and other monographs. Titles are numbered serially, and these numbers are used for reference in the index. Major English-language sources of critical reviews are covered. Encyclopedic treatises, annual survey such as Specialist Periodical Reports, and compilationsof symposiaproceedingsare omitted. This installment of Recent Reviews covers principally the middle and latter part of the 1992 literature. Previousinstallment: J.Org. Chem. 1992,57(20),5551-5556. For regularly issuedjournals and series volumes, the coverage in this installment continues from the last item included in Recent Reviews 27.
