SYNTHIA® Whiteboard

Brainstorm. Design. Collaborate. All inside SYNTHIA®.
The new SYNTHIA® Whiteboard gives you an interactive workspace to design and refine synthetic pathways directly within the SYNTHIA® Retrosynthesis Software environment. Instead of juggling screenshots, notebooks, and drawing tools, you can now bring all your ideas and results together in one place—then iterate on them in real time.

With Whiteboard, you can pull in pathways, reactions, and molecules from any SYNTHIA® analysis and arrange them on a flexible canvas. From there, use the integrated molecule editor to adjust structures, add new intermediates, or sketch entirely new disconnections based on your own intuition. Build, compare, and refine routes by merging ideas from multiple searches into a single, coherent synthetic strategy.

When you’re ready to share, collaboration is built in. Send your Whiteboard to colleagues, collect their comments, and evolve pathways together—ideal for project meetings, route-scouting discussions, and teaching environments. When you’ve converged on a design, you can export your Whiteboard in multiple formats, making it easy to document and communicate your work.

  • Seamless Integration with Analyses
    Select pathways, reactions, and molecules from your SYNTHIA® analysis results and transfer them effortlessly onto a Whiteboard.
  • Customizable Pathways
    Combine reactions from multiple analyses to create tailored, convergent or divergent pathways that reflect your own expertise and project goals.
  • Integrated Molecule Editor
    Edit existing structures or draw new molecules and reactions directly on the Whiteboard to capture your best ideas on the fly.
  • Collaboration Made Easy
    Share Whiteboards with teammates, add and review comments, and co-develop synthetic pathways in a shared digital space.
  • Flexible Export Options
    Download your Whiteboard in a variety of formats—including cdxml, rdf, png, and more—for easy reporting, documentation, and downstream use.

What You Can Do with SYNTHIA® Whiteboard

Use the Whiteboard to:

  • Combine pathways and reactions from different SYNTHIA® searches into a single, unified design.
  • Edit structures, adjust conditions, and introduce new transformations based on your own synthetic insight.
  • Build customized, presentation-ready pathways that you can share with colleagues for review or decision-making.
  • Export your final Whiteboards in multiple file formats (cdxml, rdf, png, and others) to integrate with ELNs, drawing tools, and documentation workflows.
