Notes
The Merck Index Online consists of several databases: * The Compound Search database allows searching for compounds by physical properties, compound attributes, and structure. The Compound Search database can be searched with or without the ChemDraw Plug-in. * The Organic Name Reactions database contains a list of reactions which have come to be recognized and referred to by name within the chemistry community. The descriptions are composed of name(s) associated with the reaction, the original and/or primary contributor(s), a concise description of the transformation, a reaction scheme, key references, and cross references to other organic named reactions. * The Additional Tables section lists multiple tables, including abbreviations, glossary, and a chemical terms translator in PDF format.
