"Any chemist can use this program with only one minute of practice," Dr. Corey said last week. The chemist "draws" the structure he is interested in as he would with paper and pencil; a computer-driven plotting device then draws the shape on a cathode-ray display tube and develops...
The authors gave an example of the new procedure using an alcohol that is widely used in perfumes and generally synthesized by two different methods. The computer gave these two methods and three others which the authors say they believe might prove more useful.
