Content at a Glance - Chemical Reactions

The perfect way for you to understand how reactions work.

Benefit to you

You can:

• Create, modify, and vary reaction questions by assigning and reassigning specific roles (reactants, reagents, products, catalysts, solvents) to the structures in the question
• Explore different reactions to produce the same product, uses, or applications
• Find information concerning reaction conditions, yields, and catalysts

Content

CASREACT, produced by CAS, contains:

• More than 14 million single- and multi-step reactions

Coverage

• 1840 to the present
• CASREACT contains reaction information from the millions of published journal articles and patent documents selected for inclusion in Chemical Abstracts (CA)
  

Update frequency

• CAS adds 600-1,300 new reactions each week

Explore by

To find the reaction information you need, first draw the structures of the substances involved in the reaction. Define roles for each of the reaction participants and then Get Reactions.

Or you can start your exploration with any of the following items, define roles, and Get Reactions.

• Chemical structure
• CAS Registry Number or Substance name (trade names, synonyms)
• Molecular formula
