Introduction

Synthesis Browser displays the result of a synthesis. The synthesis structures and additional data are generated by Synthesizer and stored in a database.

Usage

Opening a Synthesis

The Synthesis Browser is accessible from the menu of JChemManager (jcman) by selecting Tools->Synthesis Browser. The Synthesis Browser can also be run directly by running the synthesisbrowser script which runs the chemaxon.jchem.SynthesisBrowser java class.

The browser displays the list of stored synthesises in the database at startup. After opening a synthesis, the browser displays the synthesis sets for the given synthesis in the "Compound View" window.

Compound view

In the Compound View structures are listed by synthesis sets. Click on a set name on the left to see the corresponding structures. Move through pages with the paging buttons. The Synthesis Path for a structure can be viewed by selecting a molecule by single-clicking on it, and then clicking on the "View Synthesis Path" button.

Tree View

The Tree View is useful in determining which structures were generated from a chosen molecule. On the left side you can open synthesis sets, the nodes are the structures in the given set. By opening a branch, you can see what structures were synthesized using the given structure. Structures without further products will not open. As you move along the tree, the molecule corresponding to the selected node will display on the right side panel. Tip: you can move conveniently on the tree by using the arrows on the keyboard. The Synthesis Path for a structure can be viewed by double-clicking on a node or pressing ENTER when a node is selected or by clicking on the "View Synthesis Path" button.

Synthesis Path

The Synthesis Path displays the whole synthesis process that produced a given structure. The reactions are listed from top to bottom, the product of the bottom reaction is the structure in question. The path is divided by horizontal spaces when multiple synthesis routes were joined during the process. Synthesis paths are displayed under new tabs, which clan be closed when no longer needed.
