Abstract
A sample consisting of 427 one- and multi-step organic name reactions has been classified in terms of a previously determined empirical set of 43 general reaction-matrix types (R), according to procedures outlined originally by UGI et al.14. The resulting distribution of R-matrices is similar to the overall pattern of other random and specialized sample analyses. The metathesis reaction accounts for 60% of all single-step synthetic transformations; subsets consisting of the primary three and ten R-matrices describe some 78% and 93% of the population, respectively. The results represent a valid experimental basis for the mathematical description of the constitution of organic chemistry.Keywords
