• Abstract: Retrosynthetic planning is a fundamental problem in chemistry for finding a pathway of reactions to synthesize a target molecule. Recently, search algorithms have shown promising results for solving this problem by using deep neural networks (DNNs) to expand their candidate solutions, i.e., adding new reactions to reaction pathways. However, the existing works on this line are suboptimal; the retrosynthetic planning problem requires the reaction pathways to be (a) represented by real-world reactions and (b) executable using "building block" molecules, yet the DNNs expand reaction pathways without fully incorporating such requirements. Motivated by this, we propose an end-to-end framework for directly training the DNNs towards generating reaction pathways with the desirable properties. Our main idea is based on a self-improving procedure that trains the model to imitate successful trajectories found by itself. We also propose a novel reaction augmentation scheme based on a forward reaction model. Our experiments demonstrate that our scheme significantly improves the success rate of solving the retrosynthetic problem from 86.84% to 96.32% while maintaining the performance of DNN for predicting valid reactions.

  This paper introduces modelname, a novel chemical reaction representation learning model tailored for a variety of organic-reaction-related tasks. By integrating atomic correspondence between reactants and products, our model discerns the molecular transformations that occur during the reaction, thereby enhancing the comprehension of the reaction mechanism. We have designed an adapter structure to incorporate reaction conditions into the chemical reaction representation, allowing the model to handle diverse reaction conditions and adapt to various datasets and downstream tasks, e.g., reaction performance prediction.

  Retrosynthesis is a fundamental but challenging task in organic chemistry. Given a target molecule, the goal of retrosynthesis is to find out a series of reactions which could be assembled into a synthetic route. We propose a new retrosynthetic planning algorithm called retro-prob to maximize the successful synthesis probability of target molecules.

  Retrosynthetic planning identifies a series of reactions that can lead to the synthesis of a target product.

We propose Retro*, a neural-based A*-like algorithm that finds high-quality synthetic routes efficiently.
