• applies four retrosynthetic strategies to disconnect a target compound into synthetic precursors
• validates retrosynthetic strategies by checking its occurrence in reaction databases such as for instance InfoChem's ChemSynth database
• allows fast compound substructure and reaction substructure search
• provides access to chemical databases to define commercial availability of starting materials or building blocks
• offers easy registration of supplier's electronic catalogs of chemical compounds using CatalogBuilder
• provides easy registration of in-house reactions via RDFiles

The active development, support and distribution of WODCA has been stopped since the beginning of year 2005.

Currently, Molecular Networks is developing a novel, web-based, easy-to-use tool, called THERESA (THE REtroSynthesis Analyzer), for the stepwise retrosynthetic analysis of a given target compound. THERESA scans reaction databases to suggest new synthetic routes and simultaneously searches in catalogs of available starting materials for the proposed precursors.

If you are interested in further information about THERESA as soon as it is available please send an e-mail to info|at|molecular-networks.com.
