Heterocyclic Computer Database
Over 100,000 References Available
Operates using Either a Macintosh or IBM-PC Compatible
Computer
Are you having difficulty locating a particular reference in the area of
heterocyclic chemistry and spending valuable time in the library? Let us
help you. Keyword searching using the heterocyclic database -- CHEMKEY --
will save you both time and money. Over 100,000 references dealing with
the heterocyclic literature have been collected over a thirty year period from
journals that organic chemists traditionally use. Particular attention
has been devoted to synthetic methods, reactive intermediates, organometallic
chemistry, photochemistry, stereochemistry, theory, assymmetric synthesis of
heterocycles and much more. It is possible to add your own references to
the search routine for more personalized searches.

Keyword
searching offers many advantages over graphics programs such as Reaccs or
Synlib. Searches simply involve typing a compination of keywords and/or
authors. Unlike CAS on-line searching, the results are immediately
available on your personal computer with no additional charges. You will
save an enormous amount of time in locating key references in the literature of
heterocyclic chemistry.

"The availability of
the "key word driven" ChemKey data base has been a truly valuable
source of the organic literature, particularly in reactions and synthetic
methods, as well as authors. After some 10 years we have utilized the data
base virtually every day to search out answers to questions dealing with
literature on a functional group, properties of classes of compounds, and
synthetic routes. The rich reference source (over 100,000 references)
are added automatically in a timely sequence so the data base increases
steadily. There is just enough information given with each hit to assess the
contents of each reference in a particular search. The ability to print
out an entire list of the references makes one's subsequent library visit
much easier. The system is very easy to use and can be taught to students in
a matter of minutes. They will then be in a position to access thousands of
refences dealing with virtually every question that arises in organic
synthetic research. One must not confuse this facile data base with a totally
complete version (Crossfire, Scifinder, etc) but the ready entry into the
chemical literature cannot be overstated. The efforts by the Padwa
group in assembling this data base must be gratefully acknowledged. It is
hard to see how anyone would not benefit from this very affordable "poor
man's version" of Scifinder or Crossfire." -- A. I. Meyers, Professor of
Chemistry, Colorado State University |
