Prototype reaction optimizer

Consider the set of model compound reactions shown in reactions (48), (49), and (50). These are prototypes reactions which, if applied at the high polymer level, might yield polymers of the type depicted (idealistically) in 3.67 or 3.68. Synthesis of species corresponding exactly to these structures has not been accomplished, but polymers that bear metal atoms linked to phosphorus every five or so repeating units have been prepared by the chemistry shown in reactions (51) and (52).116 The aim of this type of work is to optimize the synthetic procedures to increase the loading of metal atoms to the point where metallic-like properties become evident. 

Virtual prototyping will be the future method to develop new reactors and chemical processes. With a good description of the fluid dynamics, and mass and heat transfer in the reactor, the specific chemical reactions and physical properties of the fluid can be changed and a process optimization can be performed in virtual...

The value of rapid prototyping comes in when you need to dramatically reduce the time and expense involved in making a model of your innovation so it can be assessed and optimized by designers and manufacturing engineers before it goes into production. As well, rapid prototypes are also used by marketing and sales professionals to test and anticipate customer reaction. 

With this information in hand, it seemed reasonable to attempt to use force field methods to model the transition states of more complex, chiral systems. To that end, transition state.s for the delivery of hydrogen atom from stannanes 69 71 derived from cholic acid to the 2.2,.3-trimethy 1-3-pentyl radical 72 (which was chosen as the prototypical prochiral alkyl radical) were modeled in a similar manner to that published for intramolecular free-radical addition reactions (Beckwith-Schicsscr model) and that for intramolecular homolytic substitution at selenium [32]. The array of reacting centers in each transition state 73 75 was fixed at the geometry of the transition state determined by ah initio (MP2/DZP) molecular orbital calculations for the attack of methyl radical at trimethyltin hydride (viz. rsn-n = 1 Si A rc-H = i -69 A 6 sn-H-C = 180°) [33]. The remainder of each structure 73-75 was optimized using molecular mechanics (MM2) in the usual way. In all, three transition state conformations were considered for each mode of attack (re or ) in structures 73-75 (Scheme 14). In general, the force field method described overestimates experimentally determined enantioseleclivities (Scheme 15), and the development of a flexible model is now being considered [33].

The calixarenes (from the Greek calix, meaning chalice) are a family of structures that have seen extensive use in many contexts. Shown below is the remarkable, one-step synthesis of the prototype calixarene. This condensation reaction is a variant of the phenol-aldehyde condensation that produces bakelite, the first synthetic polymer. Early workers spent considerable effort to optimize this synthesis, biasing the product toward the calixarene...
