Dictionary of Chemical Names and Synonyms-- Electronic Edition

The new edition of this bestseller reference is being offered, for the first time, as an electronic product. Scientists and engineers who work with chemicals spend an inordinate amount of time trying to identify a chemical's appropriate name, Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registry Number, and/or the structure. Often an individual will start out with a trade name that provides no insight into the chemical identity. With this Dictionary, these lookup tasks will cost nothing (other than the cost of this CD-ROM) and almost instantaneously allow you to find a majority of the chemicals that you need.

Approximately, 25,000 chemicals with 150,000 synonyms were selected from the following sources:

* U.S. Government's List of Lists
* Hazardous Substance Data Bank
* Toxic Substances Control Act
* Test Submissions (TSCATS) Database
* Environmental Fate Databases

Commercial chemicals are included as well. More than half of the discrete chemicals in this reference product have SMILES structural notations to further assist in identifying the compound.
