{{Refimprove|date=June 2009}}
The '''Beilstein database''' is the largest [[Chemical database|database]] in the field of [[organic chemistry]], in which compounds are uniquely identified by their [[Beilstein Registry Number]]. The database covers the scientific literature from 1771 to the present and contains experimentally validated information on millions of [[chemical reaction]]s and [[Chemical substance|substances]] from original [[scientific publication]]s. The electronic database was originally created from ''Beilstein's Handbook of Organic Chemistry'', founded by [[Friedrich Konrad Beilstein]] in 1881, but has appeared online under a number of different names, including Crossfire Beilstein.  Since 2009, the content has been maintained and distributed by [[Elsevier]] Information Systems in Frankfurt under the product name "Reaxys".<ref>http://www.reaxys.com/info/press_room</ref>

The database contains information on reactions, substances, structures and properties. Up to 350 fields containing chemical and physical data (such as [[melting point]], refractive index etc.) are available for each substance. References to the literature in which the reaction or substance data appear are also given. 

The Beilstein content made available through [[Reaxys]] <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.reaxys.com|title=Reaxys|accessdate=4 January 2011| archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20101210055126/http://www.reaxys.com/| archivedate= 10 December 2010 <!--DASHBot-->| deadurl= no}}</ref> is complemented by information drawn from Gmelin (which gives access to the [[Gmelin database|Gmelin Database]]), a very large repository of [[Organometallic chemistry|organometallic]] and [[inorganic chemistry|inorganic]] information, as well as by information drawn from the [[Patent]] Chemistry Database. The Reaxys registered trademark and the database itself are owned and protected by Elsevier Properties SA and used under license.

==Popular Culture==
* [[Isaac Asimov]]'s short story [[What%27s_in_a_Name%3F|What's in a Name?]] (1956) introduced the Beilstein "Handbook of Organic Chemistry" as an important plot element.
