Reaction Results

View the reactions that match your structure search query. At the top of the page appears the search statement that retrieved the results, including the selected reactant option.

The actual number of reactions found by the search appears at the top of the page. If, however, your hit count is greater than 500, then only 500 reactions are available for viewing. You can use the navigation buttons to view reaction records. For example:

Results: 650 (500 shown)

Each reaction is accompanied by two links: a link to the Reaction Details page and a link to the Full Record page.

If you want to print a reaction record from this page, select the reaction(s), and then click the Print button.

If your search also retrieved compounds, then click Go to Compound Results button to view the reaction records.

Save to RD File

Save to RD File

You can save reaction records to an RD (reaction-data file) file from the Reaction Results page. An RD file consists of a set of editable records. Each record defines a molecule or reaction and its associated data.

You can open an RD file in WordPad or you can use any chemical software tool to import the file.

Keep in mind that if your institution subscribes to both the Index Chemicus and the Current Chemical Reactions indexes, then a Compound Data search will create two sets of results: a set of compound records and a set of substructure reaction records.
