Strategy-first synthesis planning for complex natural products
The total synthesis of a complex molecule is among the most demanding intellectual and experimental feats in chemistry: a chemist must plan many steps ahead for how to assemble simple building blocks into an intricate target, devise backup strategies, and anticipate procedural challenges. It is also a profoundly creative activity. For half a century, efforts to automate the retrosynthetic design…
