Organic Reactions Classified by Neural Networks: Michael Additions, Friedel–Crafts Alkylations by Alkenes, and Related Reactions
Lingran Chen, Johann Gasteiger · Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English · 1996
A two-dimensional projection of organic reactions into a self-organizing neural network (shown schematically on the right) makes it possible to perceive similarities between reactions, assign reaction types, and identify special reactions. Michael additions and related reactions are used here to illustrate this approach to analyzing chemical reactions.
