Preparation or Synthesis
Beilstein/Gmelin via CrossFire
Contains information on the preparation and properties of organic compounds (Beilstein) and inorganic compounds (Gmelin). Access to these databases requires separate client software, which is mounted on the standalone workstation located near the reference desk at D. H. Hill Library. The Client software can also be downloaded and installed onto personal workstations. Note: An NC State IP address is required to connect to the Beilstein / Gmelin Databases. To familiarize yourself with the use of Beilstein/Gmelin, consult the Beilstein and Gmelin Quick Guide.
Print version: Beilstein Handbook of Organic Chemistry, 4th ed., QD251 .B4.
Chemical Abstracts (SciFinder Scholar)
Chemical Abstracts is the most comprehensive index for chemical research. It covers more than 10,000 journals, as well as books, conference proceedings, and patents. The Client software can be downloaded and installed onto personal workstations.Otherwise, SciFinder Scholar is available on all of the terminals in the Reference area of D. H. Hill, but not remotely via a network connection. You may search Chemical Abstracts by general subject, chemical substance name, molecular formula, ring system structure, author, or patent number. See the Chemical Abstracts library guide (on the publications rack by the Reference Desk) for more information.
Coverage: 1967-present.
