Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry Second Edition Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry Second Edition

PREFACE N o period in the history of organic chemistry has been as dynamic and productive of research accomplishment as the twelve years between the completion of the first and present editions of this textbook. New reagents, new reactions, and extraordinary syntheses have been manifold. New techniques and new instruments for analysis and determination of structures, improved methods for theore...

A brief survey of a paper by Peter Steffen, et al. Introduction G.K. Chesterton, an English author and journalist from the turn of the century, once stated he desired to write a story about a man setting sail from England in search of a new and foreign land. Eventually, when the man reached the island of his destination, he found it to be the most extraordinary and fascinating place. Unbeknowns...

Computational Complexity of Synthetic Chemistry { Basic Facts

| Three negative results: 1. Given a set of allowed starting materials and allowed chemical reactions, the problem of determining whether a chemical of speciied structure is synthesizable is Turing undecidable. 2. The question of whether it is synthesizable in N steps is NP-hard. These results apply in a general abstract setting and do not prove anything about how hard the problem is with any s...
