SciFinder enhancements - March 2025

This month’s CAS SciFinder Discovery Platform™ release features several enhancements to your CAS SciFinder® experience.

Increased breadth of NMR data

This content enhancement improves the predicted spectra for substances by including new predicted heteroatom NMR peak data. Fluorine-19, Nitrogen-15, and Phosphorus-31 predicted NMR data are now present on substances when available, increasing the breadth of spectra data for substances.

Independently scrolling facet panel

This usability enhancement enables access to desired facets in a result set while scrolling down a results page, simplifying the process of refining results from any position within the results set.

Improved substance modeling in retrosynthesis plans

The retrosynthesis experience now features improved modeling of multicomponent substances to increase consistency. A consistent behavior is now applied whether initiating the plan from a substance modal or entering the CAS Registry Number® directly, resulting in the removal of any salts or hydrates before proceeding.

For a full overview of this month’s release, click to visit the “What’s New?” section of CAS SciFinder.

Reaxys

Users need to use a personal sign in rather than an institutional sign in to be able to export search results e.g. to Endnote. 

For more information about exporting in Reaxys, please see How do I export results?
