Strategy-first synthesis planning for complex natural products

Daniel Armstrong, Xuan-Vu Nguyen, Octavian Susanu +15

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 sim…

Agentic generation of verifiable rules for deterministic, self-expanding reaction classification

Daniel Armstrong, Maarten Dobbelaere, Valentas Olikauskas +4

The paper introduces an automated system where multiple large language models classify chemical reactions and generate verifiable reaction rules, expanding a reaction taxonomy from…

Synthelite: Chemist-aligned and feasibility-aware synthesis planning with LLMs

Nguyen Xuan-Vu, Daniel Armstrong, Milena Wehrbach +3

Computer-aided synthesis planning (CASP) has long been envisioned as a complementary tool for synthetic chemists. However, existing frameworks often lack mechanisms to allow intera…

SynthStrategy: Extracting and Formalizing Latent Strategic Insights from LLMs in Organic Chemistry

Daniel Armstrong, Zlatko Jončev, Andres M Bran +1

Modern computer-assisted synthesis planning (CASP) systems show promises at generating chemically valid reaction steps but struggle to incorporate strategic considerations such as…

TempRe: Template generation for single and direct multi-step retrosynthesis

Nguyen Xuan-Vu, Daniel P Armstrong, Zlatko Jončev +1

Retrosynthesis planning remains a central challenge in molecular discovery due to the vast and complex chemical reaction space. While traditional template-based methods offer tract…

Chemical reasoning in LLMs unlocks strategy-aware synthesis planning and reaction mechanism elucidation

Andres M Bran, Theo A Neukomm, Daniel P Armstrong +2

While automated chemical tools excel at specific tasks, they have struggled to capture the strategic thinking that characterizes expert chemical reasoning. Here we demonstrate that…
