SYNTHIA™ Retrosynthesis Software

ACCELERATE YOUR RESEARCH AND RATE OF PATHWAY DISCOVERY FROM WEEKS TO MINUTES

Hand-coded by chemists and engineered by computer scientists, this synthetic planning tool draws from a profound chemical abstracts database of advanced organic synthesis rules and algorithms. Computer-aided synthesis allows you to rapidly generate synthetic routes to identified targets. ​

Based on years of development as Chematica, then further enhancement as SYNTHIA™, this software now enables chemists to easily navigate through viable pathways that can be executed at the bench.
