Reaxys

UCL now has access to Reaxys.

Reaxys is a web-based search and retrieval system for chemical compounds, bibliographic data and chemical reactions.

Reaxys searches the content of the three CrossFire databases, Beilstein, Gmelin and Patent Chemistry Database, producing a single results set.  Each record provides details excerpted from multiple patent or journal sources.  Reaxys contains a repository of experimentally validated data, including structures, reactions (including multi-step reactions) and physical properties.
