TheSPRESI data collection is one of the largestdatabases fororganic chemistry worldwide. The database covers thescientific literature from 1974 to 2014, focusing onorganic synthesis. It contains information on 5.8 millionchemical structures and 4.6 millionchemical reactions abstracted from 700,000 references.
Since 1974 the data collection has been jointly built byVINITI(All-Russian Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of the Russian Academy of Sciences, based in Moscow) and ZIC (Zentrale Informationsverarbeitung Chemie, based in east Berlin, up to 1989) and the data are now maintained by the VINITI Institute. Since 1990InfoChem GmbH, part of DeepMatter Group, based in Munich, Germany, has been the distributor of this data collection and developed the database SPRESIweb and the app SPRESImobile.
The SPRESI database contains information on organic substances, including coverage of reactions, structures and properties. Over 32 million records of factual data, such asphysical properties (boiling/melting points, refractive indexes, etc.), reaction conditions (catalysts, yields, etc.) and keywords have also been abstracted. Links to the literature in which the substances are described are also given.
The SPRESI data collection can be accessed online via the web-applicationSPRESIweb, developed and distributed by InfoChem. Alternatively the complete set or subsets of the database can be acquired as raw data in SDF/RDFchemical file format.
