Content

Records from the CAS database include searchable:

- CAS Registry Numbers for all reactants, products, reagents, solvents, and
catalysts from the CAS database
- Yields for many products, reaction conditions, and textual reaction information
from the CAS database
- Structure diagrams
- CAS Roles, reaction sites, and mapping of atoms between reactants and
products
- Common Functional Groups found in reactants, reagents, and products
- Bibliographic information, in-depth substance and subject indexing, and abstracts
Records from the CAS database also include displayable reference data such as CAS
roles, patent family data, cited references, and CAS Registry Numbers indexed for CA,
but not reaction participants.

DISPLAY and PRINT Formats

Any combination of formats may be used to display or print answers. Multiple codes must be separated by spaces

Hit-term highlighting is available in all searchable fields except compressed reaction displays and FS. In reaction
fields, highlighting occurs in the Reaction Map and in the Reaction Summary. Highlighting must be ON in order to
use the CRD, CRDREF, FCRD, FCRDREF, FHIT, FPATH, FSPATH, HIT, OCC, PATH, RX, RXG, RXL, RXS, and

Displaying CAplus or MEDLINE documents for cited references

Enter the following in the DISPLAY command: L-number for the answer set; answer number (only one may be
specified); RAN.CAPLUS(x-y), RAN.MED(x-y), where (x-y) is the cited reference number, numbers, or range of
numbers; and the display format for the document to display, e.g., BIB ABS. For example, to display CAplus
records for the cited references 1 and 2 from answer 2 in the answer set L5, enter the following:
=> D RAN.CAPLUS(1-2) L5 2 BIB ABS

SELECT, ANALYZE, and SORT Fields

The SELECT command is used to create E-numbers containing terms taken from the specified field in an answer
set.
The ANALYZE command is used to create an L-number containing terms taken from the specified field in an
answer set.
The SORT command is used to rearrange the search results in either alphabetic or numeric order of the specified
field(s).

Process of oxidizing o-nitrotoluene in the side chain, by means of
manganese dioxide and sulphuric acid, to o-nitrobenzaldehyde, as well as
to carbon dioxide with excess of o-nitrotoluene, characterized by
operating above 100.degree. and preferably in closed vessels. By
variation in the concentration of the sulphuric acid, the principal
product may be either o-nitrobenzaldehyde or o-nitrobenzoic acid, the
former prevailing at 30-45.degree. B.acte.e., and the latter at
46-60.degree. B.acte.e. concentration of acid.
