Organic Chemistry (Substance Preparation) Sample Search

Search Topic:

Find references about the preparation of frontalin.

Strategy:

  1. Find the Registry Number for frontalin
  2. Key terms
  3. Registry Number with P suffix (meaning preparation)

Teaching Points:

Registry File:

  • use CN field to find registry number (RN)

CA File:

  • use the P shortcut to find preparation/synthesis information
  • use the L# from REGISTRY file to include deleted registry numbers
  • comparison of a search for compound information using the RN and using the L# from the REGISTRY file.

Registry Numbers can also be searched directly in the CA file. Note that it produces one less source.

=> s 28401-39-0p

L3          56 28401-39-0P

This selects the source missing when the Registry number was searched directly in the CA file

=> s L2 not L3
