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 or a type of data store based on the use of a database management system (DBMS), the software that interacts with end users, applications, and the database itself to capture and a ...
that was established in 1998 and updated weekly with the latest developments in
organic synthesis
Organic synthesis is a branch of chemical synthesis concerned with the construction of organic compounds. Organic compounds are molecules consisting of combinations of covalently-linked hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. Within the gen ...

''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 increase in reaction rate, rate of a chemical reaction due to an added substance known as a catalyst (). Catalysts are not consumed by the reaction and remain unchanged after it. If the reaction is rapid and the catalyst ...
