| Chemistry reaction databases have provided valuable information for the research community for many years. Many of the queries employ simple reaction substructure searching to retrieve summary lists of candidate reactions with reference to or direct links to a primary literature source. While this method provides effective results, the availability of better integration to related information allows much more comprehensive searching and retrieval to support the chemistry researcher’s needs. Direct access to citation information allows rapid navigation to the prior art, as well as new directions for a particular methodology. Enhanced keywording and condition information related to catalyst types and experimental techniques provides the searcher the opportunity to include relevant procedure details in addition to structural data. With the increased integration and more robust data sources, the value of reaction databases is affirmed and their use will continue to be an important part of the overall chemical literature retrieval process. |
