Abstract
Abstract A method for processing information of chemical reactions of producing at least one product from at least one starting material, said information being given in the form of imaginary transition structures (ITS) in which the starting material is topologically superposed upon the product and bonds are distinguished and classified into three categories of (1) bonds linking two nodes appearing both in the starting and product stages, (2) bonds linking two nodes appearing only in the starting stage and (3) bonds linking two nodes appearing only in the product stage and/or in the form of connection tables of ITS, which comprises extracting from the imaginary transition structure and/or the connection table a reaction string composed of said bonds (2) and said bonds (3) which are alternately arranged to each other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
205 words
A method of storing information for an organic chemical reaction in which a reaction of at least one starting material to give at least one reaction product is involved; which comprises the steps of: (a) topologically superposing a chemical structural formula of the starting material or a combination of chemical structural formulae of the starting materials on a chemical structural formula of the reaction product or a combination of chemical structural formulae of the reaction products to produce an imaginary transition structure; (b) classifying each bond linking two nodes of the imaginary transition structure into the following three groups; (1) bond linking two nodes appearing both in the formulae of the starting material and the reaction product, (2) bond linking two nodes appearing only in the formula of the starting material, and (3) bond linking two nodes appearing only in the formula of the reaction product; (c) representing nodes and bonds classified in step (b) in the form of a connection table; (d) extracting from the connection table information on a reaction string composed of the bonds classified into the group (2) and the bonds classified into the group (3) arranged alternately; and (e) storing the information on the reaction string in a recording material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
205 words
A method of storing information for an organic chemical reaction in which a reaction of at least one starting material to give at least one reaction product is involved; which comprises the steps of: (a) topologically superposing a chemical structural formula of the starting material or a combination of chemical structural formulae of the starting materials on a chemical structural formula of the reaction product or a combination of chemical structural formulae of the reaction products to produce an imaginary transition structure; (b) classifying each bond linking two nodes of the imaginary transition structure into the following three groups; (1) bond linking two nodes appearing both in the formulae of the starting material and the reaction product, (2) bond linking two nodes appearing only in the formula of the starting material, and (3) bond linking two nodes appearing only in the formula of the reaction product; (c) representing nodes and bonds classified in step (b) in the form of a connection table; (d) extracting from the connection table information on a reaction string composed of the bonds classified into the group (2) and the bonds classified into the group (3) arranged alternately; and (e) storing the information on the reaction string in a recording material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
114 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the step (b) of classifying each bond is performed by denoting the bond linking two nodes in the connection table using pairs of integers (a, b), in which the integer "a" is bond multiplicity of the corresponding bond of the formula of the starting material and the integer "b" is the difference in the bond multiplicity between the formulae of the product and the starting material, and the step further includes detecting all of bonds where b=o from the connection table and arranging these bonds in such manner that nodes are connected in order and the integers "b" thereof have alternately a positive value and a negative value.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the information on a reaction string is stored in the form of a connection table.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the information on a reaction string is stored in the form of characters, symbols or a combination thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the step (c) of representing nodes and bonds is performed to give a connection table having two-dimensional or three-dimensional coordinates of nodes, and the information on a reaction string is stored in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional form.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the step of topologically superposing the chemical structureal formulae is performed on a display.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
224 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the step of classifying each bond is performed by denoting the bond linking two nodes in the connection table using pairs of integers: (1+0) which denotes a bond having one bond of (1) only; (2+0) which denotes a bond having two bonds of (1) only; (3+0) which denotes a bond having three bonds of (1) only; (1-1) which denotes a bond having one bond of (2) only; (2-1) which denotes a bond having one bond of (1) and one bond of (2) only; (3-1) which denotes a bond having two bonds of (1) and one bond of (2) only; (2-2) which denotes a bond having two bonds of (2) only; (3-2) which denotes a bond having one bond of (1) and two bonds of (2) only; (3-3) which denotes a bond having three bonds of (2) only; (0+1) which denotes a bond having one bond of (3) only; (1+1) which denotes a bond having one bond of (1) and one bond of (3) only; (2+1) which denotes a bond having two bonds of (1) and one bond of (3) only; (0+2) which denotes a bond having two bonds of (3) only; (1+2) which denotes a bond having one bond of (1) and two bonds of (3) only; (0+3) which denotes a bond having three bonds of (3) only.
