IUPAC Gold Book

Lets us introduce here some definitions from the IUPAC Gold Book [10] that will be useful for our presentation ...

Project Prospect endeavors to use and build acceptance of standards for chemical information by using the International Chemical Identifiers (InChls) created by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as a way to provide a nonproprietary way to make chemical information more machine-readable. To illustrate the potential of this in the simplest way, an InChl for benzene (i.e., InChI=l/ C6H6/cl-2-4-6-5-3-l/hl-6H) was pasted into a Google search bar (www.google. com), this resulted in 37 hits in the fall of 2007 and over 1,000 hits 6 months later in the spring of 2008. The top hits were directed at the IUPAC Gold Book as shown in Figure 1.1.

The term reaction mechanism is part of the everyday language of chemists, yet it conveys different things to different people. The IUPAC Gold book (www.goldbook.iupac.org) defines the mechanism of a reaction as A detailed description of the process leading from the reactants to the products of a reaction, including a characterization as complete as possible of the composition, structure, energy and other properties of reaction intermediates, products and transition states. An acceptable mechanism of a specified reaction (and there may be a number of such alternative mechanisms not excluded by the evidence) must be consistent with the reaction stoichiometry, the rate law and with all other available experimental data, such as the stereochemical course of the reaction. On the basis of Occam s razor (Section 3.7.4), one should always choose the simplest mechanism that is consistent with all available evidence.
