ChemProtect
ChemProtect is a new software designed to help chemists in the selection of protective groups in synthesis. ChemProtect is available on the Apple Macintosh in two versions (English and French). A modified version of this software is also available on UNIX (Iris Series) and VAX/VMS.
ChemProtect contains 346 protective groups and 161 reaction conditions for a total of 55706 possible reactivities. There are 1413 literature references built in a database of general references (reviews, etc.) and specific references to the primary literature.
There are three searching options available with ChemProtect:
- The Compatibility search allows you to find all protective
groups for selected chemical functions that will be stable to 1 up
to 10 reaction steps simultaneously.
- The Incompatibility search allows you to look for conditions
that modify selected protective groups (up to 10 also).
- The Deprotection search allows you to look for conditions that
selectively deprotect a set of protective groups up to 10 at the
same time.
