Abstract

The fruitful core: Organic syntheses reported in the literature from 1850 to 2004 are analyzed with mathematical tools from network theory and statistical physics. There is a set of substances (the core) from which the majority of other organic compounds can be made (see picture; red: core, blue: periphery, green: islands). Search algorithms are used to identify small optimal sets of maximally useful chemicals. (Figure Presented).
