Abstract:
Efficient molecular editing is pivotal in synthetic chemistry, especially for developing drugs, materials, and high-value chemicals. Electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr) reactions, specifically sp2 C-H halogenation, face significant challenges due to electronic and steric factors, necessitating extensive trial-and-error. This study introduces an innovative machine learning-based model to predict halogenation sites in SEAr reactions, achieving an average accuracy of 93% in 5-fold cross-validation. Employing ensemble techniques, particularly AutoGluon-Tabular (AG), the model demonstrates broad applicability across various aromatic halides, enhancing its utility in drug design, materials science, and more. By reducing experimental uncertainty and optimizing synthetic pathways, this model saves considerable time and resources, thereby accelerating innovation in synthetic chemistry.

Regioselectivity of Electrophilic Additions to Alkenes: Markovnikov's Rule
The hydrohalogenation of an unsymmetrical alkene can yield two haloalkane products, depending on which vinylic carbon takes up the halogen. However, one product usually predominates, where hydrogen adds to the vinylic carbon bearing the...

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn...
