History

The database was established in 2015 to replace the two discontinued databases ''Methods in Organic Synthesis'' () and ''Catalysts and Catalysed Reactions'' (. ''Methods in Organic Synthesis'' was an online

database In computing, a database is an organized collection of data stored and accessed electronically. Small databases can be stored on a file system, while large databases are hosted on computer clusters or cloud storage. The design of databases s ...

that was established in 1998 and updated weekly with the latest developments in organic synthesis. It was also available as a monthly print bulletin. ''Catalysts & Catalysed Reactions'' was a monthly current-awareness journal that was published from 2002 to 2014. It covered the research areas of catalysed reactions and

catalysts Catalysis () is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst (). Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and remain unchanged after it. If the reaction is rapid and the catalyst recyc ...
