Exchange of structure data between structure databases and chemical reaction indexing and S3mthesis analysis programs. 

In 1967, work was presented from a Sheffield group on indexing chemical reactions for database budding. In 1969, a Harvard group presented its first steps in the development of a system for computer-assisted synthesis design. Soon afterwards, groups at Brandeis University and TU Munich, Germany, presented their work in this area. 

The Chemical Abstracts System (CAS) produces a set of various databases ranging from bibliographic to chemical structure and reaction databases. All the databases originate from the printed media of Chemical Abstracts, which was first published in 1907 and is divided into different topics. Author index, general index, chemical structure index, formula index, and index guide arc entries to the corresponding database (Table 5-3). 

Di- and poly-halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons. No general procedure can be given for the preparation of derivatives of these compounds. Reliance must be placed upon their physical properties (b.p., density and refractive index) and upon any chemical reactions which they undergo. 

The physical constants of furfuryl alcohol are Hsted in Table 1. When exposed to heat, acid or air the density and refractive index of furfuryl alcohol changes owing to chemical reaction (51), and the rate of change in these properties is a function of temperature and time of exposure. 

Dichloroacetic acid [79-43-6] (CI2CHCOOH), mol wt 128.94, C2H2CI2O2, is a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis. Physical properties are mp 13.9°C, bp 194°C, density 1.5634 g/mL, and refractive index 1.4658, both at 20°C. The Hquid is totally miscible in water, ethyl alcohol, and ether. Dichloroacetic acid K = 5.14 X 10 ) is a stronger acid than chloroacetic acid. Most chemical reactions are similar to those of chloroacetic acid, although both chlorine... 

To run the residence time distribution experiments under conditions which would simulate the conditions occurring during chemical reaction, solutions of 15 weight percent and 30 percent polystyrene in benzene as well as pure benzene were used as the fluid medium. The polystyrene used in the RTD experiment was prepared in a batch reactor and had a number average degree of polymerization of 320 and a polydispersity index, DI, of 1.17. 

Let us write AG for the Gibbs energy change occurring during a chemical reaction m involving the conversion of moles of reactants (index react ) and products ( prod ). We find that... 

The approach to developing metrics for process safety is analogous to those that might be used to assess Occupational Exposure risk. One can cite as well several indices that have been developed as metrics for estimating and ranking the safety of a given process or chemical reaction, such as the DOW fire and explosion index,the Stoessel index ° for hazard assessment and classification of chemical reactions, the Inherent Safety Index, the Prototype Index for Inherent Safety, amongst others. ...

The Inherent Safety Index (ISI) deals with both main reaction(s) and those side reactions taking place in the reactor and which are meaningful. It also deals with chemical interaction which describes unintentional chemical reactions which can take place among chemicals in the plant.

Analysis procedures can be additionally classified into procedures that involve physical properties, wet chemical analysis procedures, and instrumental chemical analysis procedures. Analysis using physical properties involves no chemical reactions and at times relatively simple devices (although possibly computerized) to facilitate the measurement. Physical properties are especially useful for identification, but may also be useful for quantitative analysis in cases where the value of a property, such as specific gravity or refractive index (Chapter 15), varies with the quantity of an analyte in a mixture. 

Although optical resonance spectroscopy is suitable for studying chemical reactions involving two reactants and a single product, it cannot be extended to more than two or three components because one cannot interpret the resonance spectrum uniquely to obtain the composition from the refractive index. Raman spectroscopy is an attractive alternative approach.
