Since you asked your question concerning the SOR Database (or SORD), let me give you a reply from SORD. Currently we are excerting data from theses and dissertations with the full experimental details in digital format. A PDF of the experimental section is attached to each record – containing spectroscopic data which is NOT excerted. We also translate French, German and more recently Chinese texts into English. Reaction mapping (your question) is not as yet done; it may be in the future.

If you want to get hold fo SORD, just let me know.

Thanks for your interest,

Thanks for your question. Currently, ChemSpider is a database of chemical structures and does not have support for reaction data and searching. Obviously, we appreciate the importance of reaction searching. In the future we are looking to make the database more aware of the roles that compounds play in reactions, which will begin to address the sorts of queries that you would like to formulate.

In the meantime, I would encourage you to take a look at (and even better; contribute to) ChemSpider SyntheticPages, while this does not yet include all of the features that you highlight it is a fantastic resource for researching reliable synthetic procedures and through our ChemSpider annotation (which I just refer to as mark-up) represents a 1st step in linking ChemSpider records for individual compounds – with reactions.
