Abstract

We describe the program REKEST (REsearch for the KEy STep) the aim of which is to research the key step of a synthesis by dissecting the target molecule according to formal schemes. These schemes represent generalized reactions which allow to delete and/or add one or several bonds in the target compound. By this method the user obtains rapidly a view of possible interesting intermediates. REKEST proposed new ideas for the synthesis of longifolene and recognized existing ones. REKEST is written in BASIC and runs on an Apple II microcomputer.
