3. Scenario #1 Advanced Data Search

4. Advanced Data Search -Introduction
Select the Advanced Search link
The Advanced Search feature enables you to drill into the database by querying on data fields.
Advanced Search queries use the following syntax: <fieldcode> <operator> <field value>
Detailed descriptions of the fields can be found in the Reaxys Help in the Searching Property Data section.
Detailed descriptions of the operators can be found in the Reaxys Help in the Advanced Search Operators section.
Select the Show fields and Operators link to view and select fields
If you know the codes and operators you would like to use, you can simply type them into this box. For example:
IDE.CN = 'cisplatin' AND CIT.PY='2009'

5. Advanced Search Operators
- Use an asterisk (*) as a wild card
- Use single quotes (‘ ‘) around values (see examples in upcoming slides)

6. Fields - There are over 800 searchable fields in Reaxys
- You can search in specific fields or search the Basic Index
- There is a Basic Index for Reactions, Substances, and Citations

1.  Select the = operator from the drop-down menu.
2.  Click the   button to open the index so that you can select the density value that you need.
3.  Type the desired value in the "Search For" box. The exact range you are looking for ( ) may not be there. Click the most similar entry (0.9-1) and click the Transfer button.
4. Then, simply type your edits into the large box.
... 2 1 4 3
Edit the new query.
Click the desired value

10. ... Advanced Search -Specify density temperature 4 1 3 2
PROXIMITY Operator: values are related
To ensure that your results include the specified density value along with the corresponding specified temperature, the PROXIMITY “field-joining” operator must be used.
1.  Select the density Measurement Temperature field.
2.  Select PROXIMITY from the drop-down menu that appears.
3.  Click the button to open the index so that you can select the density temperature value that you need.

“Field-joining” Operator
1.  Select the appropriate viscosity field.
2.  Select the AND operator for the “field-joining” operator.
Select BETWEEN for the “value” operator.
Click the box to open the index.
5.  Type the first number of the desired range value ( ) in the "Search For" box, click the appropriate entry and then click the Transfer button.
“Value” Operator

Edit the new query
Hint:
You can use either the AND or BETWEEN “value” operator when adding a range of numbers.
6.  Edit the new query.
7. Add the viscosity temperature value (20) using the PROXIMITY “field-joining” operator. 7
DEN.DEN=' ' PROXIMITY DEN.T='20'
AND DV.DV between 0.02 and 0.12 PROXIMITY DV.T='20'

12. -Add surface tension constraints
Advanced Search
-Add surface tension constraints 1
Surface tension = 55-65 2
Surface tension temperature = 20

14. Advanced Search Results
-”Hit Only” example

15. Scenario #2 Compounds with a generalized structure with Staph aureus IC50s data

16. Scenario #2
Find acid or ester substances with antibacterial activity against Staph aureus. Retrieve only those substances with reported IC50 values and export the data in a SAR table.

17. Let’s open MarvinSketch and draw a general structure for our substructure search.

18. Include additional options
Then add the Advanced Properties parameters to look for antibacterial effects, staph aureus as the species, and ic50 as the type

20. Export results in a variety of formats

21. Scenario #3
Trifluoromethylation reactions

22. Scenario #3
Find products of trifluoromethylation reactions that use palladium-containing catalysts. Limit the list to patents from 2006 – the present. Select a reaction and, for the product, view the Markush table and related compounds. Export data to different file types.

23. We are looking for trifluoromethylation reactions that result in aromatic compounds using palladium-containing compounds.
Let’s open MarvinSketch and draw a general structure for our substructure search.
Next, we’ll specify palladium by opening the Reaction Details Reagent/Catalyst fields and entering palladium a couple of different ways, including wildcards.

24. This results in a list of over 19,000 reactions
This results in a list of over 19,000 reactions. However, notice that the first one isn’t exactly what we are looking for because it has a similar substance as the reactant.
I will try to eliminate these unwanted reactions by, first, repeating the query specifying Starting Material instead of Product. Then, after getting the results, I will subtract the second list from the first list.

25. This list management is done by selecting the History button and then selecting the 2 queries of interest. Here are my 2 queries that resulted in over 19,000 hits. I’ll click the Combine button and then click to eliminate the second list from the first list.

26. We now have a list of over7,000 reactions.
For this example, I’d like to view reactions from patents, so I’ll filter the list by Document Type.

27. I now have a list of 82 reactions.
Scrolling through the reactions...notice the Reaction Details. The Hit Details (those with palladium-containing catalysts) are separated from the other Reaction Details (those without palladium).
I now have a list of 82 reactions.
The Experimental Procedure section of the patent is included in the details. You can also view the Abstract and the Full Text.
Some catalysts are hyperlinked to the substance record for that catalyst.

29. This screen is called the Synthesis Planner.
In addition to displaying a reaction scheme, the Synthesis Planner also lets you change steps in the reaction and add reactions from different sources.
For example, clicking on Synthesize here will display a new list of reactions from which to choose.
Information on purchasing compounds is also available by clicking the blue “e” for emolecules.com or the blue diamond for Symyx Available Chemicals Directory
