What is Reaxys?

What do chemistswant to know?

1. What is this?• Is it novel? Patented?• What are its physical characteristics

(weight, melting point, etc?)2. What does it do?• Is it a reagent? Solvent?• What is its bioactivity?

Pharmacology?• Is it toxic?3. How can I make it?• How can I change it?• How can I make it better?

Where would you need Reaxys - a customer’s question to the world

TO: CHMINF-L@listserv.indiana.eduSUBJECT: [CHMINF-L] Looking for Information

My patron is looking for a prep of CAS RN 1603-02-7 which is 4-pyrmidinol, 2,5,6-triamino- 4-(hydrogen sulfate).

The ‘standard’ old method of finding answers – dig through the literature

TO: CHMINF-L@listserv.indiana.eduSUBJECT: [CHMINF-L] Looking for Information

One of our searchers at found these two references through . These may provide information relevant to query:

Reaxys extracts valuable chemical properties and reaction details from journals and patents...

......And gives you what no other database has.....

• > 29 million Reactions (how things are made)

• Properties for > 19 million Substances

Hundreds of searchable fields

Interoperability with Scopus and Science Direct for a full solution for researchers

Reaxys provides explicit answers

• What chemistry is known about a certain research topic/effect?• Which compounds have a certain physicochemical property?• Which compounds show certain biological effects?

• Does a compound exist and if so what is known about it?• Is it toxic?• What are its physical characteristics (melting point, solubility, etc?)• Any biological effects known?

• How can I get a given compound?• Can I make it and if so how?• Can I buy it?• Can I make something like it?• Can I make it better?

How does Reaxys answer the researcher’s question?

With one simple query, Reaxys gives them an exact answer with detailed experimental data and references for the full-text article if needed.

"...advantage is that the reaction data is already extracted from the journal article citations, whereas SciFinder will provide you with a list of references which you then must order and read“ subject librarian from US

Unique tools that save researchers days of reading

• Create full synthesis plans with all experimental details

• Each step can come from a different publication

• Complex problems normally requiringweeks of research canbe done in minutes

“What you just showedwould have taken mea week to do”

Dr Andy Liepa, CSIRO

Chief Research Scientist and namesake of Liepa phenanthrenes synthesis

Five good reasons to use Reaxys

1. The wealth of experimentally validated data which can be searched, filtered and ranked to find the most relevant answer to a specific question quickly.

2. Functionality beyond data searching: synthesis planner, results management, smart analysis tools for fast evaluation.

3. No user or usage limits: flat-rate for institution-wide access at any time.

4. The intuitive interface and online educational material help reduce your training efforts.

5. Interoperable: linking to SciVerse Scopus, full-texts at publishers and patent offices. Access to your own library settings via OpenURL resolver is possible.

Competitive Analysis:Reaxys is built for chemists’ workflow

Reaxys

Tools and features deliver actionable outcome

Reactions generated across articles and patents

Workflow driven, refineable searches, easy-to-use

Exporting capabilities: RD/SD files, Excel, pdf

Other chemistry databases

Often just give links to articles that then must be read

Difficult to navigate across the various results and databases

User interfaces not intuitive, steep learning curves

Limited exporting

A comparison (done by a customer)

Bibliographic Result (what the customer reported):

Reaxys: 4 PatentsSciFinder: 6 Patents

2 of the 4 that Reaxys found did not come up in SciFinder

The value of a Result is not equal to the Number of Patentsin the Database, but to the quality of the indexing.However, the value of SciFinder is equal to the number of Patents found with a search.

Conclusion: Always look behind the numbers

Factual Result:

Reaxys: 20 Reactions (5 out of Patents, including an experimental procedure from 1988)SciFinder: No Reaction

This is what we always need to ask for: which results did the search give, besides a bunch of Patents to read?

Conclusion: After comparing to the SciFinder strength, check what does SF has against Reaxys’ strength!

How does Reaxys rate with top research?

10 of the Global Top-1024 of the Global Top-2587 of the Global Top-100

- 2010 Global Chemistry Rankings

“ I can get my work done 3 times faster since I have begun searching Reaxys. Life has certainly become easier. The interface really enables me to find the content I need and to get it out. I find that it’s more difficult to extract data from SciFinder. ”

“ It’s a very straightforward way to obtain and sift through a huge amount of information from over the last 150 years.”

“ I really like the simplicity of the user interface. I don’t have to read manuals to get answers fast. ”

“ The flat rate access is important for every moderate to large institution. Now we have access for a sufficient number of simultaneous users. ”

Peter Johnson, PhD, University of LeedsResearch Professor, School of Chemistry

“It is obvious that Reaxys has been programmed with the needs and expectations of chemists in mind”Prof. Ulrich Jordis, Vienna University of Technology, Austria

"After almost one year of searching and using Reaxys, my users and I just love it."Norah Xiao, Science Librarian, University of Southern California

"The patent information is great."Professor Anthony Barrett, Imperial College London

“Reaxys is a joy to use… It’s beautiful.” US Librarian

“Reaxys thinks and works like chemists do. So it’s easy formost chemists to find the information they need.”Tommi Meulemanns, Mercachem

“Whenever we hit stumbling blocks, Reaxys helps drive the critical decisions.” Group Leader, Acoris

"A chemist without access to Reaxys is like a computer without a monitor. It's able to work, but is blind" Vladimir Maslenko, Senior Researcher, Organic Chemistry: Mendeleyev University of Chemical Technology
