SYNthesis LIBrary

SYNLIB (SYNthesis LIBrary) is a chemical reaction retrieval computer program through which laboratory scientists can rapidly search databases of chemical reaction information. SYNLIB is easy to use and requires minimal computer expertise on the part of the chemist. A facile sketchpad method is used for building chemical structure diagrams. Chemical substructure searches can be combined with constraints (conditions, strategic bond formation or breakage, etc.). SYNLIB is available for the complete family of Silicon Graphics workstations; the SYNLIB Master Library of 86,000 reactions is updated semiannually to all subscribers.
