Computer-Assisted Organic Synthesis CAOS

Program systems for computer-assisted organic synthesis (CAOS) have been under development since the early 1970s [27]. The program systems for computer-assisted synthesis planning can be subdivided into two groups information-oriented and logic-oriented systems [28]. 

New Heterocyclic Ring Systems Predicted by Computer-AssIsted Organic Synthesis (CAOS). A computer program written for this purpose (55,56) can be used to predict the formation of additional heterocyclic systems from the reactants mentioned in the above sections. These are the systems which, of course, have not been experimentally detected as reaction products so far.
