Editor's Notes
The CASREACT ® database provides access to more than 15 million single and multistep organic reactions from 1840 to the present. SciFinder displays reactions including the reactants, reagents, products, catalysts, solvents, reaction conditions, and reference information. The CAS REGISTRY SM database provides you with access to more than 31 million searchable structures along with over 58 million biosequences. For these records, you may access structure diagrams, names, molecular formulas, properties, and more.
Explore : Find references by topic, author, organization, chemical Structure, molecular formula or reaction
Thinking about how authors might have described the research in the title and abstract will be helpful Also conside how an indexer may have applied the index policies of the database producer to enter text into the record
SciFinder enables you to find sci-tech information by entering the name of a scientist or researcher, regardless of whether you know the exact name under which the research was published. It is a good practice to have the “look for alternative spelling of the last name” checked because the name may have been spelled differently in the source material used to compile the database.
Hill order: number of carbon atoms listed first, followed by the hydrogen atom count, then all other atom counts in alphabetical order
Bibliographic Information. The information needed to locate an item. For a book, it consists of author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication. http://www.southalabama.edu/univlib/guides/libterm.htm Use these search functions when you wish to find specific articles or patents for which you already have bibliographic information .
Enter the unique numbers that identify specific documents here
This option allows you to scan the tables of contents of scientific journals covered in the Chemical Abstract Services Databases. The list is in an alphabetical order. The easiest way to find a journal is to use “Find” option under Edit
adrenaline
CA index name: based on IUPAC nomenclature but not necessarily identical with it Other names, SFS is very flexible. We could use any of those trade names or chemical names to retrieve this compound
No.4-6 duplicate the functions provided by the tool bar icons
Topic search: You are searching words in the Title, Abstract, and Indexing. So think how scientists may have presented the topic (in the titles and abstracts of their articles) or how the CAS analyst may have indexed the article.
