SummaryArXiv paper presents SynthEx, an LLM-based agentic framework that plans retrosynthetic routes to complex natural products. It proposes competing strategies, critiques its own designs, and releases SynthAtlas, an open database of over one thousand routes. Expert chemists rated its key steps comparable to published human syntheses in blinded tests.
Why it mattersDocuments an agentic critique-and-revise loop applied outside software. The pattern is transferable even though the domain is chemistry, not desk work.
