A procedure for rapid recognition of the rings of a molecule
Ashmeed Esack · Journal of the Chemical Society Perkin Transactions 1 · 1975
A procedure ideally suited for ring recognition by computer programs that plan multi-step organic syntheses is proposed. The procedure consists of a modified ring algorithm, together with strategies for deducing the ring systems of the product (reactant) of a reaction from a knowledge of the reactant (product) ring systems and the nature of the reaction.
