Click Substances. Search for "butyl benzoate." What are some other names used in scientific literature for this substance? What types of spectra are listed for this compound?
To search by Molecular Formula, arrange elements by Hill system order. For organic molecules the sequence is C, H, then all other elements in alphabetical order.
Combine Advanced Search Fields to find substances with the molecular formula C11H14O2 that are solids at room temperature (20°C). Using a filter on the results screen, how many of these are compounds (not mixtures of multiple components) with anti-inflammatory activity?
Search for the substance geosmin. Retrieve the references, and filter them to review articles. Use the Search tab in the full Concept list to focus on reviews about this substance in drinking water(s). You will retrieve more results if you search for geosmin in All, rather than just in Substances. Why does this happen?
"Draw" a substance by entering CAS Registry Number 19700-21-1. Click an empty part of the screen to deselect the full drawing. Click the Single Bond button and remove stereochemistry from the single bonds. Use the Select a Variable to Draw button (X) to replace the oxygen with Any atom except C or H. Examine the As Drawn results. Select Substructure and then filter to find structurally similar substances, with one component, that have anti-inflammatory activity. How many of them contain metals? How many are small molecules, with molecular weight ≤ 1000?
