Organic Structure-directing Agents
ordered by number of C atoms

In the tables below, the more common organic structure directing agents are listed in order of increasing C content. Each entry has a stick diagram, an abbreviated name and the chemical formula. A common name, the IUPAC name and the SMILES string can be seen by moving the mouse over the abbreviated name. The chemical formula is linked to the NIH PubChem website, which contains more information.
