- Reaxys - Restricted to Rutgers users. Reaxys is a web-based search and retrieval system designed for synthetic organic chemists that returns information on organic compounds, bibliographic data and chemical reactions by searching the Beilstein database. It is recommended that you register, which allows you to save settings, but you can also use it without registering. On-line training.
