Comment on New trial subscription: Reaxys by Philip

I think that the results page is pretty good. Clear and easily scannable. However, the structure search function is severely lacking in its ability to search for specific functional groups of larger molecules. The major feature I’m referring to is being able to define specific atoms’ connectivity. In Beilstein, one is able to choose a carbon and set it to any number of bonds, thus effectively not having to define the connectivity to that carbon atom. In Reaxys, you cannot choose specific atoms for this, and it is vitally important to any organic chemist. I’ll continue to use beilstein.

Is this series over, or is it still ongoing?

Thanks.
