Reaxys update - 4th Sept

Of particular note are the improved service offered by eMolecules, the ability to filter by substructure and further enhancements to the synthesis planner.

http://www.reaxys.com

Enhanced commercial availability service from eMolcules: immediate display of the compound quantity and price and a customized e-commerce service for Reaxys users

Filter by substructure (both substances and reactions): saves time by avoiding the need to combine separate hitsets to see where they intersect

Updated Synthesis Planner: now you can explore different pathways in a single synthesis plan to make sure you get the result you are looking for

Enhanced reaction display features
ChemAxon MarvinSketch update to version 5.3.7: on initial loading this version will start with the most common features pre-loaded, therefore any subsequent start of MarvinSketch will be substantially faster.

Please refer to the Reaxys About page for more update details and further information about the Reaxys system and the tested environments. You can access this by clicking the About Reaxys hyperlink displayed at the bottom of the Query page.
