Literature procedure discovery from known transformations

Every reaction step in a finished route links to patent literature references with the original experimental procedures. This is the fastest way to go from "the model says do this transformation" to "here are the exact reagent quantities, solvents, temperatures, and workup someone published."

Steps

1. Open a finished retrosynthesis result.
2. Hover over any reaction step (the bond between a node and its children) to bring up the hover card. The hover card shows the reaction type, predicted reagents, and a count of patent references for that transformation.
3. Click View Reference Entries in the hover card.
4. Browse the reference list: each entry is a patent document with the reaction conditions, reagents, and procedure text extracted from the source.
5. Click into a reference to read the full procedure context.
6. (Optional) For multiple steps in a row, finish the route, then use the lab bundle export which bundles every step's references into a single references.md file.

When to use it

• Confirming the model's reagent and solvent suggestions are consistent with published practice for that transformation type.
• Pulling exact stoichiometry and temperatures into your lab notebook before running.
• Drafting the experimental section of a paper or patent application with primary-source citations.
