INTRODUCTION

Automatic Retrosynthesis with SYNTHIA™ retrosynthesis software is based on our proprietary algorithms, which explore and rank reactions generated from a database of expert-coded rules to plan full synthetic pathways for your target molecule, going back to commercially available and published starting materials.

The database of expert-coded rules contains transformations that you would find in organic chemistry textbooks or in the literature. These rules have been hand-coded by PhD level chemists and can account for incompatible functional groups in your reaction or recognize functional groups that need to be protected.

To help you get started, this guide describes how to set up an automatic retrosynthetic analysis, and how to view and analyze the results.
