Chemists are under pressure to evaluate more ideas, faster, without sacrificing synthetic realism. With vast libraries to choose from, and limited time, software that can free-up resources for higher‑value experimental work and innovation is essential.

In this webinar, Ewa Gajewska and Priyank Jain introduce modern retrosynthesis software and show how it can support everyday route design, from first retrosynthesis to greener alternatives. They will also demonstrate how application programming interfaces (APIs) connect SYNTHIA Retrosynthesis Software engine to platforms such as Jupyter, allowing it to score and triage thousands of virtual molecules in minutes and automatically propose viable routes. Additionally, they will show how to connect your internal inventory of molecules to create more fine-tuned synthetic pathways, taking into account the molecules you have in-house. This integrated approach helps the user focus experimental effort on compounds that are genuinely makeable and scalable.

During this webinar, you will:

  • Learn how computer‑assisted retrosynthesis supports fast, creative route design for new and known molecules
  • Discover how to use SYNTHIA’s API to evaluate synthetic accessibility across large virtual libraries in minutes
  • Learn how to prioritise hits and leads using synthesisability scores and automatically generate full synthetic pathways
  • Understand how digital retrosynthesis can free chemists’ time for higher‑value experimental work and innovation
  • See first-hand how to identify concrete use-cases in projects where interfaces for retrosynthesis can deliver quick wins
