Organic Synthesis − Art or Science?

Abstract: The LHASA rules for finding strategic bonds in polycyclic target structures are analyzed with respect to the following question: Do the strategic bonds tend to give the greatest simplification upon disconnection, as measured by recently introduced indices of molecular complexity? The answer is yes, at least for the more general rules. This result implies that the bonds most useful for retrosynthetic disconnection can now be identified by a simple calculation rather than by application of a body of rules. It is… Show more

“…It meant ratio of multiple path count over path count and described the molecular shape. 12 The molecular shape had obvious effect on the diffusion of compound to the semi-permeable membrane. From the MLR model, the negative regression coefficient associated with this descriptor illustrated the lower value of PCR was beneficial for the compound diffusing across the membrane, leading to improvement of recovery.…”

“…For validity estimation, the bond priorities decided by between key-bonds and molecular complexity have been compared with eight compounds cited from an article (Fig. 4) [26], where the Rücker's molecular complexity index was used [19,27]. The index is called total walk count, abbreviated as twc.…”

“…Starting from a chiral non-racemic , unsaturated aldehyde (31) and ethyl vinyl ether (32), Jacobsen and Chavez [58] showed that the chiral tridentate (Schiff base)Cr(III) (1S,2R)-(33) catalysed the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction to yield the cycloadduct (34) with excellent dr (>97:3) and ee (>99%) (Scheme 10). The use of the enantiomer (1R,2S)- (33) as catalyst resulted in a perceptible "mismatched" effect with the , -unsaturated aldehyde (31). This enantioselective reagent (1R,2S)-(33) still ensures the preferentially formation of a new diastereomer cycloadduct (35) with a useful level of diastereoselection dr (7:1).…”

“…In this report, we would like to examine the complexity-and diversity-generating process in DOS from the angle of reaction-driven diversity (rather than complexity). Despite efforts to measure complexity [28][29][30][31], synthetic diversity has proved more amenable to quantification at the reaction level, in accordance with defined elements of diversity. In this review, three elements of diversity, i.e.…”
