  1. Searching theChemical Literature

  2. Information Available in the Literature • Physical constants • Melting point, boiling point, density, solubility data, toxicity data, refractive index. • Synthesis pathways • Experimental procedures • Spectroscopy data • FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, MS, UV-VIS

  3. Where to Search • Google scholar • PubMed • Reference books • Merck Index • CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics • March

  4. Merck Index • One-volume encyclopedia of chemicals, drugs and biologicals that contains more than 10,000 monographs. • Each monograph is a concise description of a single substance or a small group of closely related compounds. • Since 1889, The Merck Index has become the standard reference for chemists, biochemists, pharmacologists, pharmacists, and related professionals.

  5. Merck Index • human and veterinary drugs • biotech drugs and monoclonal antibodies • substances used for medical imaging • biological and natural products • plants and herbal medicines • nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals • agricultural chemicals • industrial chemicals • laboratory reagents and catalysts • dyes, colors and indicators • environmentally significant substances

  6. CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics • The Table of Physical Constants for Organic Compounds: • Listed in alphabetical order by parent name. • For 2-phenylethanol Ethanol -2-phenyl • The Table of Physical Constants for Organic Compounds: • Boiling points, etc.

  7. CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics

  8. Other Sources • Chemical Abstracts (http://www.cas.org/) • Beilstein/Reaxys (http://www.elsevier.com/online-tools/reaxys) • SciFinder Scholar • Journal articles/Databases • ACS Publications • GALILEO (Current Contents: JACS, JOC) • JStor (Science)

  9. Spectroscopy Databases • National Institute of Standards and Technology Chemistry WebBook • Mass Spectrometry and Infrared Spectroscopy data, thermochemical data, and much, much more. • Spectral Data Base System for Organic Compounds (SDBS) • Huge searchable database of spectra, including IR, NMR, and MS.

  10. Safety Information • Vermont SIRI MSDS Collection • Provides access to Material Safety Data Sheets directly from chemical manufacturers and from an online database. Chemical Toxicity reports can also be found at this site.
