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 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
