CAS DatabasesCAS Databases
“Being able to rapidly search for important chemical information while an idea is fresh in your mind is almost priceless.
CAS databases streamline the investigative process –
allowing you to take an idea and rapidly find the important and necessary information before you forget about the idea or it loses its excitement.
That really is invaluable.”

Case Study: Patents involving Suzuki Cross- Coupling Chemistry
I am in interested in intellectual property pertaining to SuzukiCross-Coupling Chemistry
“Difficult” to solve through structure query in any reaction database!
Coverage of patents in reaction database is important
One solution is to search text information in a database that isdirectly linked to a reaction database
