Ligand preparation and database maintenance can be divided into several subtopics. Ligands need to be represented as chemical data structures. Some ligands may require multiple structures, with comprehensive representation requiring treatment of chirality and/or tautomerization and/or protonation state(s). Dependent on the intended use ofthe database, each structure may further require elucidation of one or more 3D conformers. Each of the resultant representations may then be annotated with various types of information, for example, conformational energy, MW, purchase or synthesis source, and amount of physical compound available. This body of information must then be stored as completely and as compactly as possible. In this section, we explore and comment on some of these aspects of virtual ligand preparation.

Methanol is used in the steel industry [97]. Methanol has been proposed as a synthesis source in the direct reduction of iron or to sponge iron (containing 90% of Fe) by removing most of the oxygen at a temperature of about 850 C. Molten iron is not produced in this process but is formed in the conventional blast fiirnace route of iron core reduction. This process has ined popularity because it requires a smaller capital investment and produces a superior quality product than the traditional blast fixmace route. Currently, natural gas is the primary reductant used, but methanol is considered when coal, natural s, or fuel oil is not readify available at the iron ore mine mouth. 

Once the chemical passes through the root membrane, and depending on its properties, it can be transported to other parts of the plant by way of the flow of sap in the xylem and phloem channels. Xylem channels conduct the unidirectional flow of water and nutrients from roots to the photosynthetic sections of the plant while phloem is the bidirectional flow that distributes sugars and other photosynthetic products throughout the plant. However, within the xylem, lateral movement to adjacent cells occurs and may provide a pathway for contaminants to partition into the phloem (Hendrix, 1995 Marschner, 1995). Xylem transport rates are on the order of 10 cm/min while phloem transport rates are much slower, 1 cm/min (Lang, 1990). Xylem transport rates are directly related to transpiration rates while the rate of phloem transport is governed by differences in solute concentrations between sites of solute synthesis (source) and consumption (sink) (Marschner, 1995).

M.p. 190-192 C. The enolic form of 3-oxo-L-gulofuranolactone. It can be prepared by synthesis from glucose, or extracted from plant sources such as rose hips, blackcurrants or citrus fruits. Easily oxidized. It is essential for the formation of collagen and intercellular material, bone and teeth, and for the healing of wounds. It is used in the treatment of scurvy. Man is one of the few mammals unable to manufacture ascorbic acid in his liver. Used as a photographic developing agent in alkaline solution.

Nitroethane and 1-(3,4 methylenedioxy) 2- nitropropane This method of producing the above mentioned nitro compounds is by far the best Ritter has come across yet The problem with standard nitroethane synthesis is that the -NO2 source most commonly used is silver nitrite (a la Merck Index citing). Needless to say, this is going to be an expensive compound to make as it is not available commercially but must be synthesized from costly silver nitrate. The other methods mentioned in Vogels 5th masterpiece... 

The benzoic acid derivative 457 is formed by the carbonylation of iodoben-zene in aqueous DMF (1 1) without using a phosphine ligand at room temperature and 1 atm[311]. As optimum conditions for the technical synthesis of the anthranilic acid derivative 458, it has been found that A-acetyl protection, which has a chelating effect, is important[312]. Phase-transfer catalysis is combined with the Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of halides[3l3]. Carbonylation of 1,1-dibromoalkenes in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst gives the gem-inal dicarboxylic acid 459. Use of a polar solvent is important[314]. Interestingly, addition of trimethylsilyl chloride (2 equiv.) increased yield of the lactone 460 remarkabiy[3l5]. Formate esters as a CO source and NaOR are used for the carbonylation of aryl iodides under a nitrogen atmosphere without using CO[316]. Chlorobenzene coordinated by Cr(CO)j is carbonylated with ethyl formate[3l7]. 

There are a number of other sources of information available about the synthesis of indoles. The most comprehensive entree to the older literature is through Volume 25, Parts I-IIl, of The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, which were published between 1972 and 1979[23]. Work to the early 1980s is reviewed in Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry[24 and a second edition is forthcoming[25]. Other reviews emphasizing recent developments are also availablc[26-28].
