Derivatives Bibliography

Beilstein Crossfire (Remotely Accessed Database)
Advantages: Most comprehensive source of chemical derivative information. View Chemical Derivative field in Beilstein records or do chemical reaction search to find information on derivatives.
Physical Location: Available on networked PCs in the Swain Library. It is also possible to download the Crossfire client software to your workstation. See Swain's Beilstein Crossfire page for instructions. Manuals are on Reserve in Swain Library and via the web at http://www.beilstein.com/ (choose products and then scroll down to bottom of screen for list of user aids and manuals).
Cheronis/Semimicro Qualitative Organic Analysis: the Systematic Identification of Organic Compounds
Advantages: Contains information on derivative syntheses and deriv. data for a small number of compounds.
Physical Location: In reference room (1965 ed.) & on reserve (1983 ed.) in Swain.
The Combined Chemical Dictionary (CCD)
Advantages: Contains melting/boiling point data along with references for derivatives. Includes many common derivatives and selected references to journals. Consult bibliography items labelled "deriv" or "synth" to see experimental details.
Physical Location: Web site license available. Must download structure drawing plug-in.
CRC Handbook of Tables for Organic Compound Identification
Advantages: This single volume contains lists of compounds segregated by functional groups listed in order of increaseing m.p. or b.p. Also includes m.p./b.p. data on selected derivatives.
Disadvantages: Contains a relatively small number of compounds.
Other Information: Also contains a helpful NMR-shift table.
Physical Location: CRC HTOCI web version available to Stanford users, and print available in Swain Reference [QD291 .R28 1967] and on Reserve.
Criddle / Spectral & Chemical Characterization of Organic Compounds
Advantages: Contains information on derivative syntheses. Also contains derivative data for a small number of compounds.
Physical Location: In reference room and on reserve in the Swain Library.
Pasto / Organic Structure Determination
Advantages: Provides many qualitative tests for unknown functionality and some general procedures on derivatives.
Physical Location: On reserve in the Swain Library.
Shriner / The Systematic Identification of Organic Compounds
Advantages: Contains many derivative procedures as well as derivative data. Also provides many qualitative tests for unknown functionality.
Physical Location: In reference room and on reserve in the Swain Library.
Silverstein / Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds
Advantages: Great alternative spectroscopy text. Unlike Pavia, includes NMR data for complex aromatics, heterocyclics, and hetero-aromatics. Pages 207-222 are especially helpful.
Physical Location: Old editions in the reference room and latest edition on reserve at Swain.
Vogel / Vogel's Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry
Advantages: Contains many derivative procedures and derivative data for quite a few compounds.
Physical Location: On reserve in the Swain Library.
Wild / Characterisation of organic compounds, 2nd. ed., 1958.
Advantages: Contains derivative procedures and derivative data for quite a few compounds.
Physical Location: On permanent reserve in the Swain Library.
