Symyx Technologies, Inc. announced that the SPRESI structure and reaction database from InfoChem GmbH is now available to chemists via the Symyx Isentris data access, analysis, and decision support system. In combination with existing Symyx reaction databases, which provide extensive coverage of reactions, detailed experimental methodology, and links to online citations and in-house reaction data, the SPRESI database offers synthesis chemists a high-quality and cost-effective synthesis planning solution.
 
Through molecule or reaction searches that include reaction substructure, exact match, transformation, and reaction mapping searches, researchers can simultaneously query across multiple in-house and Symyx-provided reaction databases. Citation linking to source literature, automatic links to commercial compound availability, display of retro-synthetic schemes, and the use of the novel synthesis planner to build multi-step reaction plans enable synthesis chemists to quickly and easily design successful reaction plans.
 
The SPRESI database extends the existing set of reactions available from Symyx by providing access to an additional six million structures, 3.8 million reactions, and 28 million factual data entries extracted from 636,000 references and 164,000 patents published from 1974.
