“…Many electronic databases have been built to assist with retrieval of chemical reaction information, and several publications report on general issues and comparisons of databases, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] on the Beilstein reaction database, [11][12][13][14] and on the CAS database. [15][16][17][18] A comprehensive source of chemical reaction information is contained within the CAS bibliographic, structure, and reaction databases. 19 While some problems may conveniently be solved only through the full command language functionality on the STN Network, many scientists are turning to the front-end interface SciFinder 20 and its academic version, SciFinder Scholar, 21 for solution of everyday problems.…”

“…However the vast array of methods available cannot easily be recalled, and commonly chemists need many resources to help solve specific problems. Many electronic databases have been built to assist with retrieval of chemical reaction information, and several publications report on general issues and comparisons of databases, − on the Beilstein reaction database, − and on the CAS database. − …”

The bibliographic, chemical structure, and chemical reaction databases produced by Chemical Abstracts Service allow a number of possibilities for chemical reaction searching. While these same databases may be searched through the STN network, many end-users find the intuitive software interface SciFinder simpler, but there still are issues to address. Searching may be performed through keywords, chemical structures, or chemical reactions, and the answers may vary with respect to precision and comprehension. Often combinations of search options may be needed to best solve the problem. Retrosynthetic analyses are easily performed in the chemical reaction database and can give unique insights into synthetic alternatives.
