ROCHE INTEGRATED REACTION SYSTEM (RIRS) - NEW DOCUMENTATION SYSTEM FOR ORGANIC-REACTIONS

A new computer-assisted Reaction Documentation System is described which is in use in the research department of Hoffmann-La Roche in Basel. Its purpose is the retrieval of organic reactions according to criteria which are of interest to the synthetic chemist: synthetic pathways, reactivities, types of reactions, reagents, reaction conditions, and side reactions. The following data are stored in searchable form in the computer: starting materials, products, substructures which are involved in the respective reaction, substructures which are characteristic for the respective synthesis, reaction conditions, other important aspects, as well as names of the reactions. © 1979, American Chemical Society.
