Essential ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Chemical synthesis is foundational across fields like pharmaceuticals, materials, and energy, yet current workflows often rely on repetitive trial-and-error, making them time-consuming and resource-intensive. To overcome these limitations, modern large language models (LLMs), exemplified by GPT‑4, have been fine‑tuned on millions of domain-specific Q&A pairs, creating a specialized assistant—Chemma. Chemma outperforms previous methods in key tasks such as single‑step retrosynthesis planning and yield prediction, demonstrating superior accuracy and efficiency. When integrated with active learning and Bayesian optimizations, it autonomously navigated reaction spaces, notably achieving a 67% isolated yield in an unreported Suzuki–Miyaura cross‑coupling within just 15 iterations—without recourse to quantum‑chemical computation
