What is the CAS SciFinder Discovery Platform™?
This combination of AI-enabled solutions promotes scientific discovery through access to multiple databases and tools, allowing faculty, students, and researchers to:
- Explore scientific literature from sources like the CAS Content CollectionTM and MEDLINE simultaneously using natural language queries.
- Locate substance details for organics, alloys, coordination compounds, minerals, mixtures, polymers, and salts.
- Search the world’s largest database of chemical reactions to identify reaction protocols and uncover critical information.
- Design synthetic routes, including predicted steps, in real time using the interactive retrosynthesis tool found in CAS SciFinder.
- View experimental and predicted property data and spectra.
- Access pharmacological and bioactivity data.
- Assess the IP landscape with AI-driven visualizations, integrated patent information, and Markush structure searching.
- Compare products and pricing from chemical vendors.
- Find step-by-step methods from peer-reviewed journals using CAS Analytical MethodsTM. Discover existing and design new formulations using CAS Formulus®.
