SciFinder is a comprehensive database of chemical journal literature and patents which includes CAplus (Chemical Abstracts), the CAS Registry, and other chemical files. You can search SciFinder by author, research topic, chemical substance or reaction, CA abstract number, patent number, or by structure drawing.
