Viewing reference entries
Open patent literature procedures for any reaction step.
Every reaction step in a route may have associated patent references from the training data. These reference entries include the original experimental procedure — reagent quantities, solvents, temperatures, workup conditions — from the source patent.

Open a reference entry
- Hover over a molecule node in the route tree.
- Click View Reference Entries in the hover card.
- The reference viewer opens with the patent number, reaction name, yield, solvents, agents, and the full experimental procedure text.
Share a reference page
Reference pages are standalone URLs. Copy the URL from the viewer and send it to a collaborator — they can open it directly (if they're logged in) without needing to re-run the retrosynthesis.
