2. The Vision
Turn:
information into knowledge,
answers for questions into solutions for problems
3. How can I make my target molecule:
Quickly
Efficiently
Cheaply
From building blocks available in batch quantities
Using scalable methods (techniques, conditions…)
With low environmental footprint
How can I make a series of compounds?
Synthesis Challenges
Discovery
Development
Process
4. Knowledge
Intuition
Experience
How do we approach the problem now?
Standard literature mining:
Has this been made before?
Any similar structures?
How can I accomplish this transformation that I have in mind?
Step-by-step analysis
5. Computer-Aided Synthesis Design
The Approach:
Comprehensive rule- and precedent-based retrosynthetic analysis back to available starting materials.
Automated rule generation with manual rule curation.
Generate many alternatives.
Provide supporting literature examples.
Allow user guidance and control.
13. CIRX and CASD
Detail:
Chemoselectivity (including 0% yield reactions)
Stereochemistry:
Stereodescriptors, (+)-I, (±)-I, (R)-I, (S)-(-)-I
Selectivity: e.e., d.e. ds and also E:Z>95:5, α:β=1:3
Labelling of asymmetrical centers (R,S)
Meta data: conditions, solvents, catalysts, bibliography
Accuracy and consistency:
Mapping
Attention to details
Very high quality assurance
Uniformly across DB
14. An Integrated Solution
Data mining and synthesis planning in one tool.
Use the most suitable data source for predictions (CIRX)
Develop the data source to address the needs of the chemists
Offer a gateway to the users’ own data fully behind the firewall.
Integrate/ interact with other data sources
Interact with other tools
Use the system to generate and share knowledge
