Reaxys: Web-based workflow solution for research chemists The Libraries are now offering access to Reaxys, a web-based chemistry database for organic, organometallic, and inorganic chemists. Reaxys combines the content of CrossFire Beilstein, Gmelin, and Chemical Patent Database, and provides access to information about millions of chemical structures, reactions, and properties. The Synthesis Planner is a unique tool for chemists to evaluate alternative synthetic routes, to identify and combine selected reaction steps to generate the most effective synthesis strategy. For more information on using the Synthesis Planner, see the research guide that has been created by one of our Chemistry and Physical Sciences Librarians, Qian (Ella) Hu. Reaxys provides a Java-based default structure editor, however, users who prefer to continue using the CrossFire structure editor or Symyx Draw can take advantage of Reaxys' functionality by setting up a customized account within the database. For more information on external structure editors, visit the Reaxys website, connect to Reaxys, or visit the Indexes and Databases page of the Rutgers University Libraries' website. |
