Nanomole-scale high-throughput chemistry for the synthesis of complex molecules
Abstract
Breaking through the milligram floor: When chemists synthesize compounds, the threshold for success is at least a milligram of product. This has been true for decades—even though biochemical assays have long since descended into microgram territory—and results in part from the constraints of characterization methods. Buitrago Santanilla et al. present an automated dosing and characterization protocol for optimizing chemical reaction conditions on the microgram scale. This allowed them to screen numerous base and ligand combinations for catalytic C-N bond-forming reactions between complex pairs of compounds, in short supply, that resisted standard coupling conditions.

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.
