2. What is Reaxys:Content and Navigation Concept

Reaxys supports research and fuels discovery by integrating reaction and substance data search with synthesis planning. Easy access to relevant, actionable results means chemists in R&D and academia can move quickly through the steps in their workflow and deliver superior outcomes.

What is Reaxys?Experimentally validated content built upon more than 100 years

tradition with Beilstein and Gmelin

Data consolidated into a single view

Excerpted by trained chemists, Quality checked by trained chemists, process managed and overseen by

PhD chemists

Abstracting sources and extracting data relevant to

synthetic chemists

Only experimentally validated data is included – no calculated or

extrapolated dataCustomer and Reaxys Board Development partner - driven

development

Beilstein: Selected organic chemistry patent publications 1889-1980

Gmelin: Selected core chemistry journals since 1771 (organic, metallorganic, inorganic chemistry)

PCD: Selected organic chemistry patent publications since 1976

3. Worked example

Salbutamol

Worked Example: Salbutamol

Typically a chemist would want to know:

How can Salbutamol be synthesized?

Process details? Yields? Patents? How to buy or synthesize the starting materials?

Supplier data? Reactivity? How does Salbutamol react with other substances to produce new

compounds? Are there spectral or physical data to identify the compound? Which bioactivity and application data does it have? Which analogous compounds exist, and how do their properties

compare to those of Salbutamol? Which key publications should I read?

The following search scenario demonstrates how

Reaxys can be used to answer such questions.

1. The chemical structure has been created from the name "Salbutamol". Chemists could also draw this structure by hand.

2. Define the structure as „Product“ and remove salts, mixtures, etc. from the hitset by checking boxes

3. Click "Save Query" to save the structure, if you want to re-use the structure drawing in a seperate session via "Load Query"

4. Click on "Search" to start the search

3): Query is Ready..
