What content is included in Reaxys?

Reaxys has extensive coverage of authoritative information in organic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry dating as far back as 1771. The information is carefully selected by expert chemists.

Reaxys is updated weekly. Note, however, that the time between date of publication and entry of information in Reaxys records varies with the document source and the nature of the information (such as substance, reaction, or property information) extracted. In some cases information in records appears within two weeks of publication; in other cases, information in records will be complete within two months. See the latest Content Statistics.
