E-EROS TUTORIAL

E-EROS TUTORIAL Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis at the UIUC Chemistry Library For any questions about e-EROS please contact Tina Chrzastowski or call (217) 333-3737. Introduction About e-EROS: Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis e-EROS is the electronic counterpart of the print version of the Encyclopedia. The database contains around 50,000 reactions and 3,800 of the most frequently consulted reagents. To open e-EROS, go to the Chemistry Library's homepage (http://www.library.uiuc.edu/chx/) and look for the e-EROS link under "Electronic Reference." Starting to Use e-EROS When you first open e-EROS from the Chemistry Library's homepage, you will see what information e-EROS has to offer. The database is searchable through browsing the index, keyword searching or through Structure & Metadata searching. The Structure & Metadata search first consists of drawing structures (for the substructure, structure exact or reaction substructure). To narrow the results, the database can then be searched by: reagent name, reaction name, catalyst name, solvent name, product yield, temperature, authors, reference and publication year. Each entry highlights the various uses and characteristics of each reagent through: illustrations, information on physical data, solubility, the form it is supplied in, purification, and where relevant, preparative methods. Each entry has a list of literature references to key review ...
