Abstract
We propose the use of computer animation techniques for representation of knowledge about organic reactions, in particular as applied to syntheses and transformations of heterocycles. We discuss general questions of the methodology of “chemical animation” as a new method of communication via electronic journals and an effective teaching method. We illustrate the technical and methodological means allowing us to solve the resulting problems, using as an example the operation of a specific program.
