Beilsteins Handbuch der organischen Chemie (The Beilstein handbook of organic chemistry)Call Number: QD251.B42 B45ISBN: 0387129510Anschutz Library
The Beilstein handbook of organic chemistry is a comprehensive source of evaluated data for organic compounds and includes corresponding literature references. The source is in German until the Fifth supplement which is in English. Holdings in the KU Libraries continue until 1995. The value of the source is particularly for the older literature pre 1910 which is not covered in SciFinder.
The volumes are held in Anschutz Library at QD 251 .B4. Each volume of Beilstein concentrates on a group of structurally related compounds. The title is composed of the following sections:
1. Main work (Hauptwerk, abbreviated "H") covers the literature up to 1910.
2. First Supplement (Erstes Erganzungswerk "EI") covers 1910-1919.
3. Second Supplement (Zweites Erganzungswerk, "EII") covers 1920-1929.
4. Third Supplement (Drittes Erganzungswerk, "EIII") covers 1930-1949.
5. Fourth Supplement (Viertes Erganzungswerk, "EIV") covers 1950-1959
6. Fifth Supplement (Funtes Erganzungswerk, "EV") covers 1960-1979.
