SciFinder enhancements

Tuesday, December 24, 2024

The following enhancements were just released on SciFinder.

 

1. "Are you looking for reactions?" feature

This new feature is designed to anticipate a user’s intent to access a reaction based on the search query they entered (e.g. "suzuki coupling"). When this occurs, a new interaction is displayed, allowing you to quickly navigate directly to the identified reaction(s).

 

2. Retrosynthesis improvements

  • Synthetic Depth elimination – the synthetic depth limit elimination expands options for plans presented to users, allowing them to find synthetic routes for large molecules requiring sequences of predicted steps.

  • Plan options simplification – improvements to the plan options page include the removal of synthetic depth options and improved labeling. In addition, scoring profiles have been removed from the plan results page to improve usability.

 

In addition, as enhancements may be made to SciFinder from time to time, you may wish to refer to the "What's New?" section of CAS Scifinder's webpage. 

 

Finally, for any enquiries about access, please email clbfrm02@nus.edu.sg.

 

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
