Hi OLCC S19
If you are interested in the mechanism of a single reaction then can you tell me exactly what that reaction is? Butadiene + Maleic anhydride?
Otherwise, what you have done makes sense in general. I simply need to explain what is happening in your searches. I shall do that in a couple of hours. First I'd like to know exactly what you want though.

I wanted to look up a Diels Alder rxn mechanism, so I input the name into the quick search and got a gazillion hits. Then I grabbed a recent lab handout and attempted to have structure editor build 4-cyclohexene-cis-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride by inputting the name. That didn't work at all, so I used the structure editor to draw the compound.
I then searched for rxns and got 28 hits on position/steroisomer, 130 near it, and boatload after that. I clicked the hyperlink for the 28, and found what I thought looked like the closest to what I wanted to see, but when I went to view...it's behind a paywall. Can't view it. I've already had serious trouble merely accessing Reaxys because of other issues which I thought we had ironed out by this morning. Apparantly they are not. Any suggestions?
By the way, I ran into the same thing when I tried to access the paper which is at the bottom of this module through both SciDirect and Reaxys.Thanks for your help.
Hello,
I'm Otis Rothenberger, a retired professor of chemistry from Illinois State University. I'm an organic chemist, but I spent most of my years at Illinois State teaching non-major general chemistry.
I'm the author of the CheMagic Virtual Molecular Model Kit - a Jmol Web application. During the development of this application, I discovered cheminformatics for the first time, and I've been in learning mode ever since. I'm still in the student learning stage of cheminformatics.
I view myself as the official "old guy" of this course, and as such, I stick my two cents in every now and then. My current two cents is that I hope you focus on the fun aspect of this course.
During this term, I'm interested in mentoring a student project that develops a useful cheminformatics educational tool that might be of interest to ChemWiki - now Chemistry LibreTexts.
Salem the Cat is in the forefront of my id image. In cat years, he is as old as I am. He's better looking than I am, hence he's in the forefront.
Welcome, all, to our course! I'm Bob Hanson, and I have had a lot of fun writing some interactive web pages I hope you find useful. I'm a professor at St. Olaf College where I teach general chemistry, organic chemistry, and medicinal chemistry. I'm also the principal developer of Jmol, which you will soon be working with if you haven't already. I hope you like it! One of the great aspects of Jmol is that it has a web-based mode that lets an interested student, instructor, or research scientist channel their creativity to design the interactive molecular page of their dreams. Maybe some of you will try that out as part of a project even. It's great fun! Google Jmol images and see what you can learn! Or follow this link for a simple example. https://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/jmol.php. I hope you enjoy the course.
Hi everyone,
My name is Libby, and I'm from Arkansas. I'm a Ph.D. student at U of A Little Rock studying Applied Chemistry with a focus on Medicinal Chemistry. I'm taking this class to help me in my research and to help me be better able to navigate databases.
Hey,
My name is Daniel , i'm from Cameroon. I am attending University of Arkansas at Little Rock and i am a graduate student studying Chemistry. I decided to take this course because i have been working in the Pharmaceutical field for the past two years and i realized how ChemInformatics is important both in research and in drug searches. I am looking forward in communicating with you all and sharing in this learning experience.
Hello,
My name is Phuc and I am from Vietnam. I am a student at University of Arkansas at Little Rock and majoring in Chemistry. My interest is pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. My future plan is obtaining PhD in pharmaceutical science. I take this class because cheminformatics has became the powerful field nowaday to aid researchers and this is how the future of research would look like. I would like to understand the principle of cheminformatics so I would apply in my future laboratory research
Hello Everyone,
My name is Emily. I am a masters of Chemistry student at University of Arkansas at Little Rock. My interests are to be a teacher of college level students. I hope that may be in the future to many be one of the teachers of this course.
Emily
My name is Lyndsie! I am an undergraduate at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I will be graduating this year and I plan on teaching high school chemistry. I believe cheminformatics will teach me how to use some tools that will be helpful in the classroom.
Yessir. It is butadiene sulfone and maleic anhydride in xylene.
