What is ChemSpider SyntheticPages?
Founded in 2001 by Stephen Caddick, Peter Scott, Kevin Booker-Milburn and Max Hammond as , an online database for reproducible chemical transformations, it later became the basis for ChemSpider SyntheticPages (2010-). The aim of ChemSpider SyntheticPages was to provide a way for scientists to share the insight they gained from optimising a procedure in a richer form than is commonly provided in the experimental section of a publication so that others seeking to perform that same reaction/transformation might be able to better reproduce the experiment. Alongside this the ability to comment/ask questions about published CSSP procedures allowed the article to become richer post-publication.
For the time being ChemSpider SyntheticPages is closed to new submissions, but all previously published articles remain accessible.
We thank all those who have contributed to ChemSpider SyntheticPages over the years either by submitting articles or commenting on them and especially the Editors who have helped review all of the submitted records: Stephen Caddick, Peter Scott, Kevin Booker-Milburn, Max Hammond and Nicolas Marshall.
