Synthetic database

Synthetic chemical structures were obtained from the Available Chemicals Directory (ACD, MDL Information Systems Inc., San Leardo, CA, n 182 822) and a representative pool of test substances from the Synthetics database (Bayer AG, n not reported). 

The above discussion indicates that the reaction conditions have a significant influence on the SDE of guest molecules or ions. The SDAs can only play their SDE under appropriate gel conditions. Therefore, studies on the roles of guest molecules or ions by applying advanced computational techniques such as data mining, statistical analysis, and neutral networking to the improved synthetic database of the microporous compounds should include other factors such as reaction temperature, time, gel composition, and pH. 

The synthetic database of the forcing mechanism (wave climate) can also be obtained from any simulation process, like autoregressive models. Moreover, the data processing and simulation can be replaced by any technique capable of providing a sample of the different responses of the system. In the case of shoreline related problems, a sample with the position of the shoreline measured from video images would also be feasible for a shorter-term analysis. 

A second scheme uses a database of known chemical reactions. This more often results in synthesis routes that will work. However, this occurs at the expense of not being able to suggest any new chemistry. This method can also give many possible synthesis routes, not all of which will give acceptable yield or be easily carried out. The quality of results will depend on the database of known reactions and the means for determining which possible routes are best. These are often retro synthetic algorithms, which start with the desired product and let the researcher choose from a list of possible precursors. 

Obviously, use of such databases often fails in case of interaction between additives. As an example we mention additive/antistat interaction in PP, as observed by Dieckmann et al. [166], In this case analysis and performance data demonstrate chemical interaction between glycerol esters and acid neutralisers. This phenomenon is pronounced when the additive is a strong base, like synthetic hydrotalcite, or a metal carboxylate. Similar problems may arise after ageing of a polymer. A common request in a technical support analytical laboratory is to analyse the additives in a sample that has prematurely failed in an exposure test, when at best an unexposed control sample is available. Under some circumstances, heat or light exposure may have transformed the additive into other products. Reaction product identification then usually requires a general library of their spectroscopic or mass spectrometric profiles. For example, Bell et al. [167] have focused attention on the degradation of light stabilisers and antioxidants... 

However, a database of reactions brings with it problems. The most crucial question concerns the size of the database. To cover the entire range of organic chemistry certainly requires very many reactions. Some classes of compounds have their own, rather specific synthetic reactions some technical processes apply to one compound only each week new reactions are being discovered. Are all these reactions to be... 

The SHAPES Linking Library was designed to facilitate the use of combinatorial chemistry to follow up screening hits [11]. This library consists primarily of commercially available compounds containing two drug-like scaffolds connected by a linkage that is synthetically accessible. To construct this library, a database of commercially available compounds was filtered to select for drug-likeness and the presence of the desired molecular... 

The entries from the composite divisions of the EMBL database (HTG, STS, EST, and UNC) are now added to their relative taxonomic TrEMBLnew divisions. Then all hies are searched for entries that have recently been added to SWISS-PROT or TrEMBL and are thus missing a /dbxref = SWISS-PROT or a /dbxref = SPTREMBL qualifier in EMBL. These entries are removed. The entries put in the hies patent.dat, immuno.dat, smalls.dat, synthetic.dat and pseudo.dat are now already at the end of their production line. They are new entries in REM-TrEMBL (REMaining TrEMBL), which contains the entries (about 44,000 in release 10) that will not be included in SWISS-PROT. This section is organized in hve subsections ... 

Remember, however that CHAOS does not intend to be a database of "synthetic methods" presently available to organic chemists. CHAOS is aimed at finding the intermediate precursors of the "synthesis tree" by means of selected basic disconnections (either "consonant" or "dissonant"). In the author s view, it is of minor importance, for instance, how a "carbene" -resulting from a -(2 + 1) cycloelimination- is generated, or whether a double bond is the direct result of a Wittig reaction or the dehydration of an alcohol formed in a Grignard reaction. In...
