Abstracts

• Chemical Abstracts

  The most complete guide to the chemical literature (1907 - ). [Organic sections]

  Each weekly issue of CA contains at the end an author index, a patent index and a keyword index.

  The semi-annual/annual and collective indexes (Collective Index Periods) are:
  chemical substance index, general subject index, formula index, author index and patent index.

  Additional indices: ring index and index guide . The latter provides structural formulae and/or cross-references for compounds and subjects.

  The printed edition has been discontinued since 2010, Chemical Abstract is only available via Scifinder and STN

• Beilstein

  Beilstein's 'Handbuch der organischen Chemie' covers over 3 million organic compounds until 1979 listing their name, molecular formula, structural formula, all methods of preparation, important physical, chemical and biological properties, occurrence in nature, and information about derivatives.
  The location of information on any particular compound in the handbook requires some knowledge of the Beilstein classification system and an appropriate search technique, but Beilsteins offers free software called SANDRA which tell you where to look for your compound (or its analogues) in the Beilstein Handbook.

  Guide to the printed Beilstein

  Information is presented in German. For the English user, help can be found in:
