SMARTS for Reaction Patterns

Q

What are SMARTS string representations for reaction patterns?

✍: FYIcenter.com

A

SMARTS is an extension of SMILES to represent molecular patterns. But it can represent chemical reaction patterns using the following format:

R1.R2....>A1.A2....>P1.P2....

Where: 
  R1, R2, ... are SMARTS strings of reactants
  A1, A2, ... are SMARTS strings of agents
  P1, P2, ... are SMARTS strings of products

Example:
  [#6]1-[#6]=[#6]-[#6]=[!#1]-[#6]=1>>[#6]1-[#6]=[#6]-[#6]=[#8]-[#6]=1
