The Great Chemistry Search-off 2025: Synthesis Planning Week
Event box
SciFinder-n and Reaxys meet again, this time joined by Science of Synthesis. We present the databases with three final challenges: general methodology searching, specific reaction searching, and retrosynthetic analyses. The synthetic banquet is completed by the added ingredients of e-EROS, Fieser, CAMEO, and PubChem for reagent and safety searching. Bring your own reaction or synthesis problem to derive maximum benefit from this session! This event takes place in the Chemistry Library Computer Lab.
Everyone loves a good competition, and we at the Chemistry Library are no exceptions. Beat the midweek slumps during the month of July with the Chemistry Library’s third annual Great Chemistry Search-Off. In this series of training seminars, the databases compete for the honor of “Stellar Resource” as we demonstrate their prowess in three thematic challenges. The topics will be the same as last year.
Sessions will last for 75 minutes, including time for questions and answers, and you can attend as many or as few as you would like; you don’t need to come to all four. For an added challenge, you can bring your own “ingredients” (a device and queries or research questions that match each week’s theme). You can attend in-person or online, whichever is more convenient or comfortable for you.
