CAS analyzed all single step reactions on the CASREACT reaction database in terms of functional group transformations. This involved defining over 1300 functional groups and a set of rules to determine exactly which functional groups participate in a particular reaction. This paper describes the analysis process and presents some statistics and charts showing the frequency distribution of functional groups and their transformations over the full database.
