In this paper we discuss some general graph-theoretic formalism analogous to the chemical concepts of reactions and kits of reaction rules. We believe that this mathematical formalism may lead to improvements in Computer-assisted Organic Synthesis. Further we indicate that hypergraphs and its structure can be used to model the chemical reaction network.
