Computer simulation of asymmetric transformations

In order to obtain the best strategy for organic synthesis, the simulation of the reaction course can be helpful. In this letter we present a facile mathematical system for the simulation of the reaction course based on the reaction kinetics. Reaction courses are described and displayed easily by dividing the whole process into several small intervals. Exemplarily this is demonstrated for kinetic resolutions and desymmetrizations. The Microsoft® Excel tables used for these simulations are available herein.
