Reaxys training: A Workflow Solution for Research Chemists

Reaxys supports research and fuels discovery by integrating searches for experimentally validated, not calculated, reaction and substance data with synthesis planning and chemical sources so less time is spent interrogating results and evaluating alternative synthetic routes.

In this hands on training session we will cover the following aspects:

- literature searches

- reaction searches

- substance searches

- how to combine search fields with Boolean operators

Time and Place: Friday 17th May, 1:00pm - 2:30pm, Sherrington Teaching Centre, SHER-MSTC, in building no. 311

This session relates to the Knowledge and intellectual abilities domain of the Researcher Development Framework.

Places are limited and must be booked in advance. Please REGISTER to book a place.

TRIAL: Reaxys - DiscoveryGate Replacement

We have a trial of Elsevier's new platform for Beilstein and Gmelin, Reaxys, until 15th May 2009.

To access this trial go to www.reaxys.com. Off-campus users should use the Windows Terminal Service version of Internet Explorer. If we proceed with a subscription we will set up access via EZproxy as usual.

Reaxys has been designed by chemists to improve the workflow of chemistry researchers. Its search, analysis and workflow tools are designed around the needs and common tasks of users, including:

- Synthesis planner to design the optimum synthesis route
- Multi-step reactions to identify precursor reactions underlying synthesis of target compounds
- Additional search capabilities such as the ability to generate structure query from names or phrases
- Search result filters by key properties, synthesis yield, or other ranking criteria
- Results visualization
- Similarity search
- Transformation analysis
