Help building a database of organic compounds used in pharmaceuticals

AI Thread Summary
Building a database of organic compounds for the pharmaceutical industry, particularly those with heteroatoms constituting at least 15% by mass, can be effectively initiated by utilizing existing resources. ChemSpider is recommended as a valuable free database that compiles data from various sources, making it a useful starting point for research. The discussion highlights the existence of large, well-maintained databases that may already serve the intended purpose, suggesting that leveraging these resources could save time and effort in compiling new data.

Hello Guys,

So I'm trying to build a database of organic compounds that are of interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Most importantly compounds containing heteroatoms (>= 15% by mass). Where do i start!? any good websites or books, with a useful appendix you can tell me about?
I would really appreciate your feedback!

Cheers

There are already huge databases like the one you are trying to make, and they are maintained by the large teams.

Go to chemspider.com (one of the free examples) and browse the data they show, they are already collected from many sources.
 
Thanks :)

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'

I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...
