Path View Legend
You can view the Legend for the pathway in the Molecule Tile View. Click the 'Legend' icon to open a panel that displays the key for the pathway tags.
Similar Reactions
The book tag under reaction arrows indicates that published reactions similar to the suggested reaction in the pathway have been found. The number of stars in the book specify how closely similar the published reactions are to the suggested reaction.
- Three stars and a ‘100’ badge: The suggested reaction is a published reaction or has a matching published reaction.
- Two stars: Most similar reactions have a similarity score of 0.5 or higher.
- One star: Most similar reactions have a similarity score below 0.5.
Click the book tag to open the Similarity tab of the Reaction Card. (See “Reaction Cards” for more details.)
Add to Shopping List
For commercially available compounds, click ‘Shop now’ to add the compound into your Shopping List (See “Shopping List” in the Analyses Dashboard User Guide to learn how to set up and use your Shopping List for selecting commercial compounds you would like to buy).
Reaction Arrows
Hover over any colored reaction arrow to see a label indicating whether the reaction is nonselective or diastereoselective only (red arrows), or if it is suggested as part of a Strategy or Power Search option (green arrows).
Compound Tags
Compound tags are hexagon-shaped and provide additional information about the compounds at a quick glance.
Published Molecules
A Book tag next to a compound indicates that the compound is included in our databases of published compounds. The number in the badge represents the popularity score of the compound, which reflects the number of times it has been included in a published reaction. It is possible for a published compound to have a popularity score of 0 if it has been described in scientific literature but not in a synthesis (e.g., metabolites, isolated natural compounds, virtual compounds claimed in a patent).
Compounds included in our commercial databases also display their price per gram below their structure.
Protection Requirement
Compounds displaying a Shield tag require the protection of at least one of their functional groups for the suggested reaction to proceed. Click on the molecule to open the Molecule Card and find more information on the protection requirements.
Regulated Substances
Compounds with a Warning tag are included in one of the lists of regulated substances from governmental agencies. Click on the molecule to open the Molecule Card and find out which agencies are listing the compound:
- Australia group: List of controlled chemical weapons precursors.
- Department of Homeland Security: List of chemicals of interest monitored by the DHS for counter-terrorism purposes.
- Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Department of Justice: List of controlled substances and chemicals that may be used to manufacture controlled substances or illicit drugs.
- Environmental Protection Agency: List of regulated substances that may cause serious adverse effects to human health or the environment if accidentally released.
- Environmental Protection Agency List of Lists: Consolidated list of hazardous chemicals subject to reporting requirements.
Inventory Compounds
Compounds available in a custom inventory on the user’s site are marked with a Chemistry Glassware Set tag. For more information on custom inventories, please refer to the "Inventory" section.
