Chemistry & Biochemistry Research Guide: Reaxys Account Setup

A convenient place for accessing the most useful chemistry information and resources from DePaul University Library, including article and structure searching databases, books, data, tools, websites, encyclopedias, and of course ...librarians!

Access Reaxys

Creating an Account

Step 1:  Click on the Sign-In Button

Step 2: Select Sign In via Institution

Step 3:  Search for DePaul

If prompted, log-in with your DePaul credentials (you may not need to do this if you're in your office on campus). 

Step 4: Activate Personalization

Steps 1-3 are sufficient to access Reaxys remotely. However, if you want to use the Predictive Retrosynthesis tool, you must activate the personalization feature. The only information shared with the vendor is your name and DePaul email -- your password is not shared. (This is possible because of OpenAthens, our federated authentication system.)

Step 5: Enter your name and DePaul email 

Step 6: Click the Confirmation Link in Your Email

You're Registered! 

Your name should appear in the top right corner of the Reaxys screen. In the future, you'll just need to follow Steps 1-3 and you'll be automatically logged in and have full access to the tool and saved searches features.
