Reaxys is an electronic resource that can be used to find references for reactions and properties for chemical compounds. The Reaxys interface originally pulled information from three databases – Beilstein for organic compounds, Gmelin for inorganic compounds and complexes, and the Patent Chemistry database. It now incorporates new data from journals and patents worldwide.
You can search Reaxys for references and information on:
- Chemical reactions
- Organic and inorganic substances
- Measured substance property data (including identification, physical, spectroscopic, bioactivity and ecotoxicological data)
Also included is a synthesis planner that displays multi-step reaction plans with the ability to include alternate options for a synthesis route.
