Recent Reviews. 39 compiled by Veronica M. Cornel and Dennis C. Liotta Department of Chemistry, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322

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 surveys such as Specialist Periodical Reports, and compilations of symposia proceedings are omitted. This installment of Recent Reviews covers principally the middle part of the 1995 literature. Previous installment: J. Org. Chem. 1995, 60(20), 6642-50. These Recent Review articles are now also available in a database form on the ACS Organic Division WWW site http://www.organic.emory.edu/acsorg/.
