“…The spectrum of attempts ranges from the application of graph theory and set topology, as done for example by Ugi, 111 Bertz, 5 and others, 6 on one hand, to the relatively simple connectivity analysis by Corey, 108,112 Wender, 2 Hendrickson, 101 and Hanessian 98,100 on the other. In the middle of the spectrum lie Jorgensen's CAMEO programs, 104,105 which aid in the analysis of actual mechanistic pathways, and some of the databases and planning programs advanced by Hanessian. 100 The former group of applications is not readily accessible to the usually impatient synthetic chemist who is either unwilling or unable to make the time investment required to learn these special techniques.…”
