General Description
The database SPRESIweb consists of three parts: molecules, reactions and references. The start page provides four quicklinks (home, new query, help and logout) on the top and six menus on the left with the content: search, STS, query, hit list, help and others. The search can be carried out for molecules, reactions, references and STS and leads to a hit page with the results and further options described in this help file. Please note that we are not responsible for the content or availability of the linked World Wide Web sites.

Three hit list types exist: tempory hit list, saved hit list and uploaded hit list.Here you can combine a search with an existing hit list.
Name Reaction Beta Search represents an alternative search mode in SPRESIweb utilizing the familiarity of synthetic chemists with named reactions, such as Diels-Alder, Michael, Aldol etc. There exist between 800 - 1000 of these reactions in the literature depending on the source. In SPRESIweb they are organized in a hierarchical fashion. Eight main groups representing additions, eliminations, rearrangements, oxidations, reductions, substitutions, heterocyclic synthesis, and miscellaneous form the roots of the tree. Each group is then further specified according to the reaction type. For example, an intermolecular aldol reaction is listed in the branch "Addition - 1,2-Additions - Aldol reaction - Intermolecular - aldehyde/ketone'".
Reactions involving two or more clearly distinguishable named reactions, such as a tandem reaction involving a Michael reaction with a nitroalkyl derivative followed by a Nef reaction, have multiple listing in respective branches. Named reactions that involve more than one undistinguishable reaction types, such as the Alper reaction, are listed under "Miscellaneous". The same applies to named heterocyclic reactions/syntheses, such as the Fischer indole synthesis, unless the reaction types are clearly distinguishable. In this case the reactions are also listed in their respective groups.
Each named reaction is associated with one or more substructure queries transparent to the user. These queries are used to preprocess the database and assign the reaction name(s).
To start a Name Reaction search select Name Reactions beta from the drop-down menu associated with the text search field. This will open a new web page displaying the tree. By clicking on the desired named reaction in the expanded tree the program returns to the search query form and shows the name of the reaction in the text field. Clicking on Search activates the search. Alternatively, the full or truncated reaction name can be entered into the value field. To view the available values click on the index button next to the field. The respective branch of the reaction with the specific value highlighted is then shown on the index page.
Please note: this is only a prototype of our new name reactions functionality.
Only one parameter can be selected.

Search Options (Molecules)
Here the user has the choice between all-in-one structure search, substructure, exact structure, parent search, tautomer search, isomer search, flex match and similarity.
An "All-in-One" Structure Search (SSA) finds molecule records in your database that match your query exactly (that includes exact structure, isomer search, tautomer search, parent search and flex match) or contain your query as a substructure wholly within a larger structure or are similar to your query. The hits are sorted according to this order and limited to the 100 best matches. To get detailed instructions for advanced structure/reaction searching, please read the ICFSE Tutorial.
A substructure search looks for all database records containing the specified query structure completely or as a subset. The substructure search regards additional query features like any atom, atom lists, stereochemistry, exact or unspecified bond orders and many more.
If exact structure is selected, an exact structure search will be conducted.
If patent search is chosen, a search for the largest uncharged component of a salt is performed. Tautomeric forms or other salts of the uncharged component are retrieved.
If tautomer search is selected, an extended tautomer search is performed. Hydrogens, metal atoms or radical electrons my be shifted.
If isomer search is selected, stereomeric isomers or isomers containing isotops will be retrieved.
Flex match means a most flexible exact search is performed.
The molecule similarity search finds molecules that are structurally similar to your structure query (Tanimoto algorithm based on molecule fingerprint). You can define the degree of similarity in your query by choosing a threshold in the dropdown list.
Search Options (Reactions)
Here the user has the choice between all-in-one reaction search, reaction substructure, similar reactions, exact reactions, contains exact reaction, contains exact reactants or contains exact products.
An "All-in-One" Reaction Search (RSA) finds reaction records in your database that
- match your query exactly (exact search),
- match the reaction type of your query reaction and additionally contain your query as a reaction substructure wholly within a larger reaction (reaction substructure),
- match the reaction type of your reaction query only (similar reactions) or
- contain all reaction center clusters of your reaction query completely or as a subset.
The hits are sorted according to this order and limited to the 100 best matches. To get detailed instructions for advanced structure/reaction searching, please read the ICFSE Tutorial.
Please note, only complete reactions with educts and products can be searched. For incomplete reactions without educts or products a search for
reaction substructure, similar reaction, contains exact products or contains exact reactants has to be conducted.
Choose editor (Molecules/Reactions)
Three editors to draw the structure (if you search for molecules) or reactions (if you search for reactions) are available: ICEDIT, ISIS/Draw and ChemDraw.

STS (Synthesis Tree Search)
STS is a program developed to retrieve reaction trees for a given target molecule. STS can be used for the target molecule in two directions:
- all published synthesis reactions leading to the target (molecule as product)
- all published reactions starting from the target (molecule as reactant).
Each molecule obtained in a tree can be expanded further.

Tree Overview (STS)
The Tree Overview is the central hub of STS. From here any functionality within STS can be started.
It is important to understand that the Tree Overview is only an overview rather than a complete reaction display. In general, a single reaction is represented by a single connection between two structures, one being the product and the other being a reactant. Although the reaction might have more than one reactant, the reactant side is represented only by the reactants you chose to insert into the overview. You are free to insert as many reactants of a particular reaction as you want.
The Tree Overview consists of two parts: the navigation bar and the overview of the selected reactions.
If you click on a structure within the tree a context menu will be opened with the following options (if the mode Molecule as product is selected):
- show all synthesis reactions
- show this reaction
- show synthesis path to target
- show alternative reactions for step
- remove this molecule from tree
- show molecule details
- zoom this molecule
- close this menu.
If the mode is Molecule as reactant, the options have slightly different names:
- show all reactant reactions
- show this reaction
- show synthesis path to this structure
- show alternative reactions for step
- remove this molecule from tree
- show molecule details
- zoom this molecule
- close this menu.
