Dear All,
My question is: how/where do you acquire various data on a particular compound via the Internet?
What I do basically is googling the compound and open the relevant hits and copy/write down the listed phys-chem data. Which is often contradicting
and in the end majority vote decides what is true and what not. 
Is there a better method?

Merck index
Msds data sheet
Crc chemistry Handbooks

You might find something in OrganicSyntheses...

What data are you looking for? The CRC Handbook and Lange's Handbook of Chemistry (my favorite) are good sources for basic data. I bought a Lange's on
ebay (or Amazon); it's an older edition (15th), but basic data doesn't change much. I believe every lab should have at least one of the above. You can
find (I don't remember where) a version of the Merck Index to download, but I find it hard to use and it takes up a lot of memory. I did love the
hardbound edition.

The Merck and EROS exist in html

plus a big pdf of Eros is available, as is the 4th ed of Beilstein and part of the first supplement, and Kirk-Othmer...Ullmanns and K-O can be used as
a mounted .iso perhaps.

Thanks for the suggestions!
Getting melting point, boiling point, solubility, etc. data is important for me at the moment. Reason is I'm "developing" a synthesis method from an
old journal article which was not written to be treated as a recipe. The article gave description of the synthesis but I struggle with the workup
part.
Fortunately hissingnoise' s idea about checking Orgsyn was a very good one in this case! There was a different synth for my target molecule and it gave hints for the workup.
