Aids to Organic Chemistry

1'iiis shor-t monograplh, awarded the 1951 "Jacksonian Prize" by the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons, epitomises modern thought on the Surgery of Pancreatic Neoplasms. It is only during the past two decades that widespread surgical attention has been directed towards the radical cur-e of carcinoma of the pancreas, for long a field of the great masters, and the dar-ing pioneers. Ev'en t...

Heuristic Approach to Organic Chemistry

An important question in organic chemistry is how does a chemist synthesize chemicals in the most efficient way beginning with chemicals readily available. These problems are known as synthesis problems. Currently, methods based on databases (Chen, 2006) and methods related to quantum mechanics (Jorgensen, 1998) are used frequently to solve this problem. When solving synthesis problems by hand,...

Half-Century Journey from Synthetic Organic Chemistry to Mathematical Stereochemistry through Chemoinformatics

My half-century journey started from synthetic organic chemistry. During the first stage of my journey, my interest in stereochemistry was initiated through the investigation on the participation of steric effects in reactive intermediates, cylophanes, strained heterocycles, and organic compounds for photography. In chemoinformatics as the next stage of the journey, I proposed the concept of im...
