a software to find synthesis approaches for desired molecule!??
« on: February 22, 2013, 11:34:24 AM »
hi all
I have heard there is a software that you give it the molecule structure and it will tell you the synthesis approaches and even the address of published papers (sth like reaxys)
do you know what is the name of mentioned software?
thanks for the replies

The only one I am aware of is the Chiron program from Prof. Hanessian at Uni. Montreal.

Is that specifically for chiral synthesis?

Yes, it uses a database of "Chirons". I've got a copy somewhere, but it doesn't run on a Mac. It's quite difficult to use, but it gets you there.
