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 latter part of the 2008literature. Previous installment: J.

Org. Chem.2009, 74(7).

Additional Information Available: A file containing this Recent Review compilation in Microsoft Word and the data in plain text that can be imported into Endnote (using Refer style) and Reference Manager databases.
