More polymer requests #1607

Open muthuvenkat opened 15 years ago

muthuvenkat commented 15 years ago

Hello,

Can I do some tidying up of my recent polymer submissions.

Can the following polymers be linked with CHEBI:53242 (vinyl polymer) please: CHEBI:17246 poly(vinyl alcohol) CHEBI:32028 poly(vinyl acetate) *CHEBI:34928 poly(vinyl sulfate)

Please can CHEBI:53243, CHEBI:53244 and CHEBI:53245 also be assoicated with vinyl polymer. I left a note in the submission (this was before I realised that you can choose newly-submitted parents in the final submission step - great feature by the way!)

Can CHEBI:53223 have the ChEBI name "polyethers" and the current "poly(ether)s" be a synonym. This should bring it in-line with most of the other polymer classes. Likewise, would it be possible to swap around "polyaniline" (current name) with "poly(aniline)" (synonym) for CHEBI:53198? and to have "polyamide" at the title for CHEBI:53224 and "poly(amide)" as a synonym.

Can CHEBI:53270 have the extra synonym "styrene polymer".

Can CHEBI:51134 have the extra synonyms "polyacrylate" and "polyacrylates".

In CHEBI:53259 I forgot to convert the =CH2 group to an =O group in the structure (I attempted to leave a note after the submission, but I'm not sure it worked).

Finally, CHEBI:53240 was mistakenly named. It should refer to the class of polymers that are "poly(α-alkene)s" not the specific poly(α-ethylene)s as the concept of an α-ethene is a bit pointless. Sorry, my mistake - could the α-ethylene names and synonyms be removed?

Thanks, I'll try to be a bit more careful with my next batch!

Hi Hilary,

I've made the requested changes with two exceptions

1) I've retained the name poly(ether) for card 53223 as we are moving towards singularisation of as many compound classes as humanly possible. We have another entity with the name 'polyether', but this has diglyme and triglyme as children and these do not fall into the category of 'macromolecule'. I have added 'polyethers' and 'polyether' as synonyms for 53223.

2) The CHEBI name polyamide is already in use for CHEBI:51953 (this is linked to N-acyl derivatives of tren, which do not fall into the category of 'macromolecule'). It is forbidden for two entities to have the same CHEBI name, so I have had to use poly(amide)

Hope this is OK

Steve
