Reaxys Release Notes
Last updated on March 27, 2026Reaxys Conditions Navigator: From reaction data to reaction insights
Finding the right reaction conditions has always been one of the most time-consuming steps in synthesis planning, requiring chemists to search, compare, and evaluate conditions across large volumes of literature. Reaxys introduces Conditions Navigator, a new capability that helps chemists quickly identify the most relevant reaction conditions. Built on Reaxys' extensive reaction database, it summarizes and prioritizes literature-backed conditions for a target reaction and presents them in a single, decision-ready view — so chemists can move from reaction design to experimental execution faster and with greater confidence.
What’s new:
Conditions Navigator: Confident Decisions for Synthesis Planning
Reaxys Conditions Navigator is an advanced analytics and decision-support capability that helps chemists identify suitable reaction conditions for a target reaction. It summarizes conditions used in published reactions contained in Reaxys and presents evidence-backed recommendations grounded in real literature data.
How Condition Navigator supports you in synthesis planning?
Conditions Navigator is the next evolution in synthesis planning. When chemists need to know what conditions to run, Reaxys surfaces the most relevant literature-backed conditions—ranked, organized, and ready to use. It helps researchers spend less time searching and more time progressing their chemistry.
- The answer is already in Reaxys—now it surfaces itself. No more digging through individual reaction records.
- Every surfaced condition is traceable to published reactions, giving chemists the evidence they need to trust, defend, and act with confidence.
- Integrated directly into the Reaxys workflow, making reaction conditions available when and where chemists need them.
How does it work?
Conditions Navigator searches across similar reactions in Reaxys and surfaces relevant literature-backed reaction conditions in one intuitive view. Designed to support chemists throughout the synthesis workflow, it makes finding, comparing, and selecting reaction conditions faster and easier—right when you need them. You can access Conditions Navigator wherever it fits your workflow:
Draw a target reaction in the Conditions Navigator tab to identify relevant literature-backed reaction conditions
Explore and compare reaction conditions from Reaxys reaction search results using Conditions or Similar Conditions for matching reactions.
Access it within Retrosynthesis to evaluate reaction conditions as you plan and refine synthetic routes
Results are presented in a decision-ready view, including evidence counts, reaction similarity, yields, supporting reactions, and direct links back to the underlying Reaxys references.
Export your results – results are available by user-friendly or data-enriched format to share it with your colleagues or keep it for future research.
Conditions Navigator is available in Reaxys as part of the core user experience.
