Begin from any starting point
Access retrosynthesis software from a substance at any point in CAS SciFinder with the Start Retrosynthetic Analysis button. Search your compound's name, CAS Registry Number®, or drawn structure, or select substances from reference and reaction results.
Customize your retrosynthesis model
Create a retrosynthesis plan for your unique needs with advanced options. Direct your search toward specific parts of the molecule, set cost limits for starting materials, and adjust the degree of evidence supporting predicted reactions, fine-tuning your analysis.
Explore your retrosynthesis plan
Find all the important details of your retrosynthesis plan in one place, including yield, cost, and stereochemistry. Quickly identify predicted steps and modify the plan to include or exclude them using the toggle switch.
Access reaction details and evidence
Delve into expert-curated insights for your entire retrosynthesis plan in the Evidence Drawer. View details including reagents, catalysts, solvents, and links to evidence and alternative steps for each reaction in your plan, enabling you to make better decisions faster.
Discover alternative reaction steps
Explore alternative steps for the reactions in your retrosynthesis plan. Choose from alternative reactions, ranked by relevance to the starting molecule, and filter by Alternative Step Type and Stereochemistry to return options tailored to your needs.
Exclude unwanted routes
Streamline your retrosynthesis plan by excluding entire steps or individual reactants. Once excluded, the retrosynthetic analysis software will automatically update based on available alternative steps. You can reintroduce excluded steps or reactants at any time.
