Project Details:

Seniority of Detachable Prefixes Based on CIP Priorities

Project No.:310-27-98
Start date:1998-01-01
End date:2001-12-31
Division:Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry Division
Objective:

Use of the priority system devised by Cahn, Ingold and Prelog (CIP priorities) to replace the alphabetical order in the citation of detachable prefixes in IUPAC names.

Progress:
  • Dr. Wisniewski implemented Ranking Rules "a", "b", "c" and "h" of the Stereochemistry Document (dated August 1998) and run it over a sample of more then 12,000 structures from the Beilstein Database. The success rate was 93,8%. The other ranking rules still need to be implemented and the feasiblity of thr whole ordering practice based on CIP checked for more complex cases.
