Jw. Boiten et al., CATIONIC POLYENE CYCLIZATIONS - A COMPUTER-ASSISTED SYNTHESIS APPROACH, Journal of chemical information and computer sciences, 33(5), 1993, pp. 727-735
The implementation of cationic polyene cyclizations in a synthesis pla
nning program requires a special approach which focuses primarily on t
he synthetically useful cyclizations. This paper describes such an app
roach which is based on the recognition of strategic disconnections in
the skeleton of a target molecule. This approach has been implemented
in the LHASA system. The output of this implementation is illustrated
by a LHASA analysis of two synthetic target structures.
