Abstract

The efficient, simultaneous synthesis of structurally diverse compounds, better known as diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS), is not obvious, and remains a challenge to synthetic chemistry. This personal account details why DOS has such enormous implications for the discovery of small molecules with desired properties, such as catalysts, synthetic reagents, biological probes and new drugs, Also, I describe the evolution behind the current state-of-play of DOS.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
