Questel Orbit Fact Sheet REGI Claims REGIstry file: Dictionary of specific chemical compounds for crossfile searching with the IFI/Plenum patent databases Contents: This database groups together, in dictionary form, information on specific chemical compounds which are included in the IFI/Plenum vocabulary and which are used to index US chemical patents in the IFIUDB and IFICDB databases. This information includes the compound number, the molecular formula, any synonyms and fragmentation codes for each compound. Compounds found in the REGI database can be transferred into either the IFIUDB or IFICDB database using crossfile search commands.

Searching Basic Index (default index) Terms from the Basic Index /BI (default) All fields comprising the Basic Index may be searched without using a prefix. Search using single terms with search operators or with phrases using implied adjacency. Use truncation. Left-hand truncation may also be used. XYLENE AND CHLOROMETHYL W-LACTAM 99707 TOLUAMIDE W "P" NAPHTHYL IODIDE +XYLENE Compound name word /CN (or /CNW, /UN) This field contains the name and number of the chemical compound. Search by: - the 5-digit compound number - the compound name using search operators or implied adjacency /CN 99707 /CN BENZENE AND CHLOROMETHYL Enter position figures between quote marks and replace non-alphabetic characters "-" and "/" by the W operator. /CN BENZENE AND ( "1" W"3" W BIS W CHLOROMETHYL) AND ("4" W "6" W DIMETHYL) Use quote marks when searching for the letter P (position). /CN XYLYLENE GLYCOL W "P" For searching by index terms, see chapter "Keywords" on page 4. Use the /CNT index with the NBR (=IND), MEM and MEMS commands. Fragment name word /FN (or /FNW) Search by : - the 5-digit fragment number - the fragment name using logical operators of implied adjacency Use the /FNT index with the NBR (=IND), MEM and MEMS commands. /FN 40551 AND 40002 /FN ALIPHATIC CARBON AND CHLORINE May 1999-3/6 - REGI Fact Sheet
Basic Index (contd.) Synonym terms /SY (or /SYN, /SYNM) Search using single terms (operators) or phrases (implied adjacency). /SY DIMETHYLSTYRENE /SY VINYL P-XYLENE Enter position figures between quote marks and replace non-alphabetic characters "-" and "/" by the W operator. Use quote marks when searching for the letter P (meta position). /SY CHLORONAPHTHALENE W "2" /SY XYLENE W "P" /SY VINYL W "P" W XYLENE For searching by index terms, see below chapter "Keywords". Use the /SYNT index with the NBR (=IND), MEM and MEMS commands. Keywords Compounds /CNT (or /UT) Search by number or keywords, using the exact spelling for the compound, including the nonalphabetic characters "-", "/" and ",". Truncation may be used. /CNT 96349 /CNT BENZENE+ /CNT BENZENE, 1,3- BIS/CHLOROMETHYL/-4,6- DIMETHYL+ Fragments /FNT Search by number or keywords, using the exact spelling for the fragment, including full stops and hyphens (truncation may be used). Use quote marks for positions within parentheses. Synonyms /SYNT Search by number or keywords, using the exact spelling for the synonym, including the nonalphabetic characters "-", "/" and ",". Truncation may be used. /FNT 30035 /FNT CARBOCYCLIC RING+ /FNT CARBOCYCLIC RING "(P)" /SYNT BIS/CHLOROMETHYL/-M- XYLENE/4,6+ /SYNT XYLENE/M+ Molecular formula /MF /MFF Search by the exact molecular formula. Truncation may be used.

Other Indexes Accession number /AN To recall a previously viewed record. The AN number is made up from the compound number. /AN 99707 Crossfile Searching Compounds and fragments may be extracted from the REGI database using the MEM command. Examples: MEM /CNT MEM /FNT to extract and store compounds to extract and store fragments These items may then be used as search terms in the IFIUDB and IFICDB databases with the *MEM superterm. Example: *MEM /UN to retrieve patents corresponding to specific compounds or fragments May 1999-5/6 - REGI Fact Sheet
