Chemspider provides access to millions of chemical structures and several online services (property predictions, naming etc.) 2. Molecules of the Month (June 2008) Sodium Hypochlorite, NaOCl or Bleach: removes color or whitens, often via oxidation. Drospirenone: synthetic progestin, part of certain birth control formulations. Ozone: triatomic molecule, consisting of three oxygen atoms. At groundlevel it is a air pollutant, in the upper atmosphere it filters the damaging ultraviolet light. a-Thujone: an a-aminobutyric acid (GABA) antagonist which can cause muscle spasms and convulsions. Histamine: The molecule associated with immune response, allergies and hayfever. http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm Eltrombopag: has been shown to activate the human TPO (thrombopoietin) receptor. http://www.prous.com/molecules/default.asp?ID=172 3. Upcoming Organic Synthesis Conferences (July 2008) Interfacing Chemical Biology, Natural Products and Drug Discovery 11th Belgian Organic Synthesis Symposium BOSS XI
Ninth Tetrahedron Symposium Application of Modern Tools in Organic Synthesis Online database of commercially available chemicals. It contains 8.8 million unique chemical structures (both building blocks and screening compounds) and analytical data (700,000 NMR, IR and MS spectra).
