Reaxys

Reaxys is an essential digital tool that has become second nature for anyone working in chemical and related sciences. Think of it as a powerful search engine specifically designed for chemistry — it lets you find experimental data about chemical compounds, reactions, and properties from a curated database drawn from patent literature and peer-reviewed journals. Developed by Elsevier, Reaxys contains millions of experimentally validated compound records and reaction procedures extracted from the scientific literature by expert chemists. You can search by chemical structure, substructure, molecular formula, or physical properties, and the results include experimental details like reaction conditions, yields, and solubility data that you would otherwise have to dig through individual papers to find. For pharmaceutical researchers designing synthesis routes, materials scientists looking for polymerization conditions, or organic chemists planning multi-step synthesis, Reaxys eliminates hours of literature searching by putting the relevant experimental data at your fingertips in a structured, searchable format.
