Constructive Enumeration of Chiral Isomers of Alkanes*
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of exhaustive and non-redundant generation of formulas of chiral isomers of alkanes was considered. The procedure starts with the generation of optimal codes of all N-alkane structures (N denotes the number of carbon atoms.) and then the algorithm determines whether a given structure contains at least a single carbon atom, with four different substituents. In order to accomplish these tasks, two simple rules have been used to delete redundant structures and determine whether two (alkyl) branches are identical or not.

A Generalized Wreath Product Method for the Enumeration of Stereo and Position Isomers of Polysubstituted Organic Compounds
Extensive expositions of the isomer enumeration methods can be found in the review Dipers of Rouvray [1, 2]. The problem of enumerating isomers essentially reduces to finding what is known as the cycle index of a permutation group [3] and then obtaining a generating function for isomers using a theorem of Polya [3]. Read [4] stated that a method is yet to be developed for the enumeration of ste...
متن کاملEnumeration of Chiral and Positional Isomers of Substituted Fullerene Cages (C~O-C,~)
Enumeration of chiral isomers of substituted fullerene cages (CZO-C~O) is considered using the generalized character cycle index (GCCI) of the alternating representation of the point group of the parent cage. It is shown that there are no chiral isomers for the monosubstituted CZO, c24, C28, C30, c36, and CW fullerene cages but there are chiral isomers for other monosubstituted cages. All cages...
متن کاملA Novel Molecular Descriptor Derived from Weighted Line Graph
The Bertz indices, derived by counting the number of connecting edges of line graphs of a molecule were used in deriving the QSPR models for the physicochemical properties of alkanes. The inability of these indices to identify the hetero centre in a chemical compound restricted their applications to hydrocarbons only. In the present work, a novel molecular descriptor has been derived from the w...

The aim of this study is investigating the transport mechanism of ibuprofen chiral isomers inside single wall carbon nano tube (SWCNT) using mathematical modeling. To achieve this goal, molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to evaluate the interactions of ibuprofen isomers with SWCNT in an aqueous solution. Results show that both chiral forms of ibuprofen molecules enter and remain i...

Monosubstituted alkanes are counted as stereoisomers by means of Fujita’s proligand method (Fujita S (2005) Theor. Chem. Acc. 113:73-79, 113:80-86, Fujita S (2006) Theor. Chem. Acc. 115:37-53), where the numbers of primary, secondary, and tertiary ones are calculated after deriving respective functional equations. The procedures of counting are programmed by means of the Maple programming langu...
