Optimising synthesis: SYNTHIA & green chemistry

This free white paper from Merck presents two case studies that demonstrate improved syntheses of known compounds with reduced step counts, improved yields, and improved atom economy using SYNTHIA retrosynthesis software.

Synthetic chemistry is plagued by challenges and inefficiencies, such as lengthy synthesis processes, high costs and environmental concerns. Increasingly, chemists are using advanced computational tools to enhance the efficiency, sustainability and cost-effectiveness of chemical synthesis, making use of both expert-coded rules and published literature to optimise synthetic pathways.

In this free, detailed resource, you will discover how Merck’s SYNTHIA retrosynthesis software guided R&D chemists to a streamlined, more environmentally benign synthesis of two promising compounds.
