Reaxys is the New Crossfire Beilstein
PubMed has a New Look!

Schedule of Classes: November - December

 

Reaxys is the New Crossfire Beilstein

 

Starting January 1, 2010, the chemistry database Crossfire Beilstein will be replaced by Elsevier’s Reaxys database.  The new Reaxys is available now with the combined content of CrossFire Beilstein, Gmelin and the Patent Chemistry Database (PCD).  The database has improved search and analysis tools including a synthesis planner, the ability to generate a structure query from a substance name, and a tabular results display.  The results are also directly linked to full text through ScienceDirect, EspaceNet (European Patent Office), the US Patent Office, and SCOPUS.

Reaxys

Reaxys starts with the query form, which allows you to enter reaction, substance, or text search for authors, articles or topics. You can draw a structure or reaction using a structure editor, load a previously saved structure or reaction, or generate a structure by typing a name.  You can add further search conditions by including bibliographic and properties data in your query.

Reaxys was purchased by the Research Medical Library from Elsevier as part of the UT System Digital Library.

To access Reaxys now, select it from the list of databases provided by the Research Medical Library: http://www3.mdanderson.org/library/databases/databases.html

To learn how to use Reaxys, start with the training materials and videos available at: http://www.info.reaxys.com/training-center

If you have any questions about Reaxys, please contact the librarians at RML_Help@mdanderson.org.
