SYNLIB(tm) (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 available for building chemical structure diagrams. The chemical substructure searches can be combined with constraints such as reaction condition parameters, number of synthesis steps, yield, strategic bond formation or breakage, etc. SYNLIB is available for the IRIS Indigo(tm) and IRIS 4D(tm) workstations; the SYNLIB Master Library of 75,000 reactions is updated semiannually to all subscribers.
