After consulting these three single-volume references, one would turn to more comprehensive multivolume sources such as the Dictionary of Organic Compounds, Fifth Edition. This dictionary, still known as Heilbron, the name of its former editor, now comprises seven volumes of specific information, with primary literature references, on the synthesis, reactions, and derivatives of more than 50,000 compounds. Rodd s Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, another valuable multivolume work with primary literature references, is organized by functional group rather than in dictionary form. Elsevier s Encyclopedia of Organic Compounds in about twenty volumes is an incomplete reference work on the chemical and physical properties of compounds. It is useful for those areas it covers. References to Elsevier are found in the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. 

The Elsevier Encyclopedia of Organic Chemistry should also be mentioned. It is similar to Beilstein in concept but covers material up to a fairly recent date. Unfortunately, this has been rather slow in appearing, the compounds presently covered being only the bi-, tri-, and tetracyclic compounds. As far as it has progressed, it is excellent.

Part 4, Organic Controls Using Remedies Safely, is an encyclopedia of organically acceptable control techniques and products. The major types of controls (cultural, physical, biological, and organic sprays and dusts) are presented in order of least to most invasive to make it easy to choose the best control. 

Merck Research Laboratories hires organic chemists to edit The Merck Index, a concise encyclopedia of organic name reactions, chemicals, drugs, and other topics. Its editors have bachelor s or master s degrees and bring laboratory experience to their jobs.

The purpose of this chapter is to cover the physicochemical properties of cholanic acids and their salts. Some 150 cholanic acids are mentioned in Elsevier s Encyclopedia of Organic Chemistry (27) and about 440 monocar-boxylic, unsubstituted hydroxyl, and carbonyl-substituted bile acids are cataloged by Sobotka (28). Obviously, it would be impossible to deal specifically with each one. Many of these acids are by-products of chemical reactions and are not naturally occurring compounds. Further, meaningful physicochemical data are not available for the great majority of bile acids.
