AI-accelerated Organic Synthesis is an emerging field that uses machine learning algorithms to improve the efficiency and productivity of chemical synthesis.
Modern machine learning models, such
as large language models, can capture the knowledge hidden in large
chemical databases to rapidly design and discover new compounds, predict
the outcome of reactions, and help optimise chemical reactions. One of
the key advantages of AI-accelerated organic synthesis is its ability to make vast chemical data accessible and predict promising candidate
synthesis paths, potentially leading to breakthrough discoveries.
Overall, AI is poised to revolutionise the field of organic synthesis,
enabling faster and more efficient drug development, catalysis, and
other applications.
