The eMolecules free database is also a database of commercially available
compounds, but eMolecules does not include "virtual" compounds that are not
actually in stock, nor do we include compounds from unreliable suppliers.
For example, some suppliers advertise large catalogs, but when you actually
try to order, up to 90% of the compounds are not in stock. The Zinc
database is an excellent resource, but it contains over 200 million
compounds. There simply are not this many chemical compounds in stock rooms
around the world; many of these 200 million compounds are "virtual",
compounds that have never been synthesized. If you order these virtual
compounds, delivery is 12-20 weeks with significant failure rates
(predicted synthesis by the supplier fails or yields are too low).

eMolecules has about 7.4 million building-block compounds in our catalogs,
and 19.1 million screening compounds. From actual ordering data, we know
that these are realistic numbers for chemicals that can be delivered
reliably. We process hundreds of orders per day, so we know exactly which
suppliers are reliable and which are not. We don't include the unreliable
suppliers, nor do we include catalogs of "virtual" compounds from reliable
suppliers.

If commercial availability of these compounds is important, you might want
to start with eMolecules' free downloads database:
