Teach retrosynthesis,
not setup.
A classroom-ready surface for organic, biochemistry, materials, polymer, and inorganic chemistry. Curated targets, masked-retron exercises, and a live roster, so your students spend their time on chemistry instead of fighting tooling.
Built for your course
Retrosynthesis is the lens, the framing shifts by discipline. Pick the lane that matches your course and we'll surface the right targets and exercises.
Organic chemistry
CHEM 320, Sophomore/Junior Organic
Classical bond disconnections, total-synthesis case studies, and named-reaction practice for sophomore and junior organic.
Biochemistry
BIOC 401, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
Biosynthetic precursor analysis, cofactor logic, and the chemical anatomy of metabolites, amino acids, nucleotides, and hormones.
Materials chemistry
MSE 350, Solid-State & Functional Materials
Precursor synthesis for the active component of a material: MOF linkers, OLED emitters, dye-sensitizers, conducting-polymer monomers.
Polymer chemistry
CHEM 460 / MSE 420, Polymer Chemistry
Monomer-level retrosynthesis, polymerization pathway choice (step-growth, chain-growth, ROMP), and end-group analysis.
Inorganic chemistry
CHEM 440, Inorganic & Organometallic Chemistry
Organic ligand synthesis, organometallic precursor design, and Grignard / cross-coupling reagents for coordination chemistry.
Built for the way you actually teach
Three primitives that keep students focused on chemistry and give you a clear picture of where the class is stuck.
Curated targets
A handpicked library of teaching targets per discipline. Organic gets aspirin and the cross-coupling classics; polymer gets nylon and styrene; inorganic gets BINAP and salen. Sorted by difficulty so the ramp matches your syllabus.
Masked retrons
Students see the target and have to propose the disconnection. The platform reveals the answer only after they commit, so the exercise rewards real thinking instead of pattern-matching to a visible tree.
Live student roster
Watch the class in real time. See which exercise each student is on, who is stuck, and which disconnections the class is missing most often, so you can redirect a lecture before the next session.
From sign-up to live class in an afternoon
No procurement, no IT integration, no week-long pilot. Make an account, pick targets, share a join link.
Create your class
Sign in, name your class, and you have a workspace your students can join.
Pick a starter set
Choose targets from the curated library, or paste in your own. Set difficulty, reaction class, and which solutions stay masked.
Share the join link
Students join with one click. You see them appear on the roster as they start working.
A note on what students can run
Dangerous targets are blocked at the platform level. Educators can extend that list with a per-class blacklist of compounds students in their class cannot run, so you decide what chemistry is in scope for your course.
