Reaxys Academic Edition provides a faster, easier way to explore and use chemistry data from journal and patent sources. Built by chemists and technologists, it helps faculty & students improve research skills, explore research, and solve practical problems in multiple disciplines and industry sectors.
Reaxys Academic Edition maximizes the potential of your students and researchers by:
Speaking the language of chemistry, from an interdisciplinary view Reaxys uses machine learning to help researchers find, connect, and use chemistry data from across disciplines and information sources
Being fast and easy—without sacrificing relevance Reaxys excerpts and organizes relevant chemical information, for easier consumption. It includes a flexible query builder with >500 property search fields
Being useful for every researcher and student With an intuitive interface and workflows that can improve research skills, Reaxys is for every chemist, from first-year students to expert users
Using Reaxys to teach students experimental design represents just one of the various use cases through which the tool can benefit your institution.
Watch this short, one-minute video to learn how to guide students through experiment design in five easy steps with Reaxys.

Drawing on a depth and breadth of chemistry literature, Reaxys allows faster analysis of results using visualization tools and automates synthesis planning. And now, Reaxys is advancing with:
Data: Predictive modelling based on the largest and most robust corpus of
more than 15 million single-step reactions when compared to other chemistry databases.
Technology: Our predictive model uses three neural networks together with Monte Carlo tree search (3N-MCTS), which results in delivering better performance in terms of the number of small organic molecules provided for a synthetic sequence and the time it takes to propose a synthesis route. Also included is a Reverse Transcriptase tool for more efficient analysis and quantification.
User experience: We’ve designed Reaxys with an intuitive interface for better interaction with synthetic sequences and to efficiently explore the literature associated with route suggestions, as well as a scoring system for ranking routes. Please note that routes are terminated in starting materials that may be purchased separately.
"I also like that patents are now fully incorporated and that procedural information can be extracted with one click, as it means that students do not have to go through a 100-page patent to find one procedure."
