I think the OP just wants to know what they are.

physstudent1, you can then google them, and see what they look like.

Ph   - Phenyl
D    - Deuterium
EOts - Not Sure (Ts is tosyl, but not sure about the rest)

Yea, no problem.  If you can provide an example (drawn or something) where you saw the EOts, then I might be able to better answer, but I'm not familiar with that abbreviation off-hand.
