1.            SciFinder                   Chemical Abstracts

Information contained in SciFinder Scholar is from the CAS databases produced by the Chemical Abstracts Service. The databases contain nearly 14 million citations from over 9,000 journals worldwide, covering the full spectrum of chemistry-related information. Scholar also provides access to patent information, conference proceedings, and the CAS Registry of over 17 million chemical substances.

 

2.            Crossfire                     Beilstein – Organic Reaction Database

The Beilstein database contains information on approximately 7 million organic substances. Records in the database include structures, data on chemical and physical properties such as melting point, boiling point and spectral identification, and over 5 million reactions, as well as references to the chemical literature published from 1779 to date.
