Adding a Reaction Template<br />

to the Reaction Worksheet<br />

To add a reaction template to your worksheet:<br />

if you...<br />

have a reaction<br />

saved as a<br />

ChemDraw file<br />

do not have a<br />

saved reaction<br />

file<br />

then...<br />

1. Click the Load Molecule<br />

icon on the <strong>ChemOffice</strong><br />

toolbar or select Load from<br />

the Molecule submenu of<br />

the <strong>ChemOffice</strong> menu.<br />

2. Browse to the location of<br />

the file and click Open.<br />

The reaction appears in the<br />

A1 cell of the Reactions<br />

worksheet.<br />

1. Double-click the cell on the<br />

“Reactions” worksheet<br />

labeled: Reaction - doubleclick<br />

to edit.<br />

2. Click Yes in the dialog box<br />

that asks if you want to add<br />

a molecule to the worksheet.<br />

ChemDraw opens.<br />

3. Draw a reaction.<br />

4. When you are finished,<br />

choose Close and Return to<br />

New Molecule from the<br />

ChemDraw File menu.<br />

The reaction appears in the<br />

A1 cell of the Reactions<br />

worksheet.<br />

TIP: The cell will display “Structure 1”. You can display<br />

or hide the reaction at any time with the Show Picture<br />

and Hide Picture icons.<br />

You can edit the reaction in ChemDraw at any time<br />

by double-clicking the cell that contains the<br />

reaction template. You must double-click the cell,<br />

not the picture. (That will open Excel’s “Format<br />

Picture” dialog box.) Hide the picture, or click near<br />

the edge of the cell, to avoid clicking the picture.<br />

CAUTION<br />

Do not add more than one reaction to a reaction template.<br />

If you want to start a new combinatorial experiment, save<br />

your workbook and open a new one.<br />

Processing the Reaction<br />

Template<br />

<strong>Com</strong>biChem analyzes your reaction and creates a<br />

worksheet for each generic reactant (reactant<br />

containing R-groups) in the template.<br />

To create Reactant worksheets:<br />

• On the <strong>Com</strong>biChem submenu of the<br />

<strong>ChemOffice</strong> menu click Make Reactant<br />

Worksheets.<br />

New worksheets are added to your reaction<br />

workbook.<br />

The Reactant worksheets are named Reactant1,<br />

Reactant2, and so on, up to the number of initial<br />

generic reactants in your reaction. If your reaction<br />

is a multi-step reaction, intermediates (products of<br />

a prior step in the reaction) are not included.<br />

When you create worksheets, note the following:<br />

• If you edit the reaction template by<br />

double-clicking on the structure in Excel, it is<br />

not automatically reprocessed. You must repeat the<br />

Make reactant worksheets step after<br />

editing your template.<br />
