Chemistry By Design: Target Synthesis Database

Chemistry By Design is an interactive virtual flashcard that allows students to test their skills using known synthetic sequences. The goal is to display the reagents, starting materials and products for every single step used in constructing a natural product or pharmaceutical. Students are provided with different browsing options to test themselves.

Great

Has all the molecules in my chemistry class so far

Yawn.....

Designed for third grade chemistry class. Minimum of useful molecules. 3-D would be helpful to get an idea of stereo chemistry. No wonder it's free.

Make sure to entice people with a nice bicyclic.

I like!

Nice app, thanks

Nice reference

The quiz GUI would be a pretty useful study/tutoring tool for Organic I and II. I know it would have been when I took them. The history of the molecule is a nice touch too. Nice app!

So so

Ok app...isn't 3d so it doesn't show stereoisomerism or anything, plus the buttons overlap and the presentation is pretty poor

Great synthesis tool!!!

This is a great app for those looking to learn more about synthesis than in an O Chem class

A wonderful app that will help one appreciate the creative challenges over come by innovative routes to challenging synthetic targets An excellent app to help one appreciate and review synthetic transformations applicable to other targets. An improvement would be to include a classification of the synthetic trams formations on the application. Thank you for Sharing your creative efforts the interested public .

Amazing App

I’m a chemistry graduate student and I love this app! I use it to quiz myself about organic reactions every day. It would be great if it could be updated for the larger screen of the iPhone 5. I would also love a feature that would allow the user to see which molecules/sequences were recently added!
