Free Offline Databases for Chemists: Organic Synthesis
Hi everyone, NinjaChemist is here
If you’ve ever tried hunting down a specific synthesis via Google, you know how frustrating and hit-or-miss it can be. To make life easier, I’m
sharing two databases I’ve put together for searching synthetic methodologies.
Both databases run on DataWarrior (a free, open-source chemoinformatics tool). I’ve included the software(official build) in the archive just in
case you don't have it installed.
1. The Reference & Handbook Database
Content: 50,000 procedures sourced from classic textbooks and laboratory manuals.
Search: Supports structure and substructure searching.
Scope: Includes organic and some inorganic substances.
Note on Language: This was originally developed for a Russian-speaking audience, so about 2/3 of the procedures are in Russian. However, it is still
very usable for English speakers: 1/3 is already in English, and for the rest, you can simply feed the text/files into Gemini or ChatGPT for instant
digitizing and translation.
Integration: The source books are included in the archive and can be opened directly via links in the database. Please read the "readme" file to set
up the file paths so the links work correctly.
Best for: Standard procedures and relatively straightforward compounds. This is my go-to for daily lab work.
2. The Reaction Database (Spresi + Supplemental)
Spresi: ~2.5 million reactions.
Unknown Database(possibly early Beilstein dump): ~250,000 reactions.
Search: Full reaction search (structure/substructure, product, and/or reagent).
Best for: Complex molecules, rare syntheses, and deeper literature reviews.

A quick note: I tried uploading these to the Internet Archive, but the upload kept failing. If anyone manages to mirror these to the Web Archive,
please post the link in this thread!
