Prediction of higher-selectivity catalysts by computer-driven workflow and machine learning
Open accessAbstract
Predicting catalyst selectivity: Asymmetric catalysis is widely used in chemical research and manufacturing to access just one of two possible mirror-image products. Nonetheless, the process of tuning catalyst structure to optimize selectivity is still largely empirical. Zahrt et al. present a framework for more efficient, predictive optimization. As a proof of principle, they focused on a known coupling reaction of imines and thiols catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acid compounds. By modeling multiple conformations of more than 800 prospective catalysts, and then training machine-learning algorithms on a subset of experimental results, they achieved highly accurate predictions of enantioselectivities.

In the citing paper
“Other 3D-focused approaches include the development of maps of electrostatics with probe molecules (71), an approach that has recently gained favor in deep learning models for predicting gas storage characteristics of MOFs (80), or experimental homogeneous catalyst activities (81), where it is sometimes called stereocartography (82).”

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.
