Science - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng / pharmaceutical/chemistry patent
French term or phrase: schéma
Is there a standard way of labelling these reaction diagrams in a patent? The text refers to them as "schémas réactionnels"
"Selon la nature des radicaux R1, R2, W, R3, R4, et R5, les composés selon l’invention peuvent être préparés selon les schémas réactionnels décrits ci-dessous"
and then each one (showing how to synthesise the various compounds) is labelled schéma A, B etc.

scheme
Explanation:
Yes there is at andard expression. In chemical journals/textbooks etc. they are reaction schemes.
There may also be charts and diagrams and whatnot (I mean schéma can be translated other ways too) but a series of synthetic steps is a scheme.
