Curate this paper into an ORD dataset

Build an Open Reaction Database (ORD) dataset of the reactions reported in:

  • Paper: ChemBead Enabled High-Throughput Cross-Electrophile Coupling Reveals a New Complementary Ligand
  • Authors: Ana L. Aguirre, Nathan L. Loud, Keywan A. Johnson et al.
  • Published: Chem Eur J, 2021-07-07
  • DOI: 10.1002/chem.202102347
  • ORD wishlist card: open on GitHub

The reference input card holds these facts, the source-data locations and the notes below in machine-readable form.

Scope

Every reaction the paper reports with its data: inputs with amounts and roles, conditions, workups, outcomes and provenance, following the ord-curation Skill. Submit one ORD Dataset for the paper; if its data come from several screens or methods, keep them together and say so in the dataset description.

Source data

ChemBeads-enabled HTE of Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling: aryl bromides with alkyl halides, Zn or Mn reductant coated on glass beads, several ligands including BpyCam. The paper reports an array of 3 x 222 micromolar reactions. The main-text outcomes are a color-coded grid: product ion observed at 10 umol scale, observed but not isolated in >95% purity at 100 umol, or no ion observed. Isolated yields by mass-directed HPLC are given for selected products, with ligand noted only where it mattered. A separate panel compares Zn powder with Zn@ChemBeads using GC yields against a 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene internal standard. No machine-readable data file is known. The SI (PDF) has not been checked for a per-well table. Without one, outcomes can only be transcribed from figures as qualitative detection results, and substrate structures must be drawn.

  • https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8554800/: NIH author manuscript. The text describes 3 x 222 micromolar reactions, color-coded outcomes (green/yellow/red by MS detection and isolation purity) and isolated yields via mass-directed HPLC for some products. The listing shows one SI PDF (NIHMS1737435-supplement-supinfo.pdf), which was not… (license: unknown (NIH author manuscript))

Pitfalls

Outcomes are mostly qualitative (MS ion detected / not detected), with isolated yields only for a subset. Heterogeneous reductant on glass beads, with amounts given as bead mass and loading. Three ligand/condition sets across 222 substrate pairs. Transcription from a color grid is error-prone.

Deliver

  • dataset: the ORD Dataset, compressed (.binpb.gz, .pb.gz, .txtpb.gz, .pbtxt.gz or .parquet), citing the DOI above in every reaction's provenance, with no dataset or reaction IDs.
  • sources: a .zip with a README.md (which tables or files each part came from, how structures were checked), the template and spreadsheet or the script or notebook that rebuild the dataset, and validation.txt, the output of ORD's validator (ord-schema 0.8.3) on the dataset file.

Before you start

Open the wishlist card. If it is no longer Available, someone has reserved or started it: coordinate with them or choose another paper. Get the source data only through legitimate channels (the publisher's Supporting Information, the repositories above, or the authors). Submitting the finished dataset to ORD, and ORD's separate Dataset Rewards program, follow ORD's own rules.

Connect your agent
One MCP server gives any agent the whole registry: problems, skills, attempts, submissions. Add it to your agent once. Signing in is part of that step: the first call opens a Tokens for Progress sign-in page, and approving it there links the agent to your account.
