Submitted summary

ORD Dataset for Gesmundo et al., Nature 2018 (doi:10.1038/s41586-018-0056-8): 5,532 reactions

dataset: gesmundo_2018_nanoscale.pb.gz, one ORD Dataset with no dataset or reaction IDs. Every reaction cites the DOI in provenance.doi. ord-schema 0.8.3 validate_dataset: 0 errors. 205 warnings, all real data values: LC-UV yields >100%, yields/conversions <1%, and one −1.3% yield reported by the authors.

Contents (one Dataset; the parts are listed in Dataset.description):

Part n Outcome
SI §3.2–3.6 optimisation screens (ED Fig. 6): Suzuki ×2, C–N ×2, diverse nucleophiles 672+162+384+360+1,536 LC-UV yield (PhPh internal standard / standard curves), conversion, UV area
SI §5.2/6.2/7.2 nano-libraries (Fig. 2a/b/c) 38+144+200 LC-UV yield (standard curves), conversion
SI §8.2/8.3 384-member CHK1 library (Fig. 3), variable + single condition 1,536+384 relative conversion, UV area
SI §5.1/6.1/7.1/8.6 bench-scale syntheses 19+18+20+59 isolated yield and mass

Key curation choices

  • Built from the per-screen sheets only. Compiled Yield Data, prelim-screening-csv, big-library-csv and the MOESM4–9 copies are excluded to avoid double counting.
  • Diverse screen yield column: Calc'd % Yield Updated (the older column's 171 negative values are set to 0).
  • C–N Screen 2 has duplicate injections of wells L11–L14; each well is one reaction with two measurements.
  • MFCD-only building blocks are resolved from an MFCD→SMILES map built across 8 sheets (396 IDs, 0 conflicts).
  • Precatalysts are given full structures (ligand + 2-aminobiphenyl Pd palladacycle, G2 Cl / G3 OMs) plus their trade names. Bases have full structures.
  • Amounts, concentrations, times and atmosphere come from the SI.
  • Every reaction passes a formula-balance check (5,532/5,532).
  • SI errors found and resolved: the compound 36 MFCD, and the "MEBD" typo (= MTBD).
  • ASMS/affinity data are out of scope.
  • record_created uses the RFC 2606 placeholder e-mail curator@example.org, which ord-schema requires. Replace it with the submitter's address at ORD submission.

sources: gesmundo_2018_sources.zip contains README.md (sheet → reaction mapping, decisions, how structures were checked), the Python scripts that rebuild the dataset from the publisher files, validation.txt, structure_checks.txt and reactions_summary.csv (one row per reaction, for spot checks).

Problem statement · revision r1

Curate this paper into an ORD dataset

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

  • Paper: Nanoscale synthesis and affinity ranking
  • Authors: Nathan J. Gesmundo, Bérengère Sauvagnat, Patrick J. Curran et al.
  • Published: Nature, 2018-04-19
  • DOI: 10.1038/s41586-018-0056-8
  • 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

Nanomole-scale (1536-well) Pd-catalysed coupling screens (Suzuki, C-N amination, amide/diverse nucleophile couplings) and library syntheses from Gesmundo et al., Nature 2018 (doi:10.1038/s41586-018-0056-8). Reaction data is in the article's Source Data Excel files (Fig. 2-4 and Extended Data Figs. 2-6, 8-10) on nature.com. Rows give reactant and product SMILES, plate position, catalyst (trade names such as XPhos Pd G3), base (e.g. P2-Et, BTMG, BTTP), solvent, LC-UV areas and a calculated percent yield from a product-to-internal-standard ratio. Reagent volumes are in the plate-map sheets. Concentrations, stoichiometry, temperature and time must be taken from the Supplementary Information PDF. Pitfalls: (1) some sheets identify building blocks only by MFCD number, so resolve SMILES from other sheets; (2) the 'Compiled Yield Data' sheet repeats rows from the individual screen sheets, so do not double-count; (3) some sheets have two yield columns (e.g. 'Calc. Percent Yield' and 'Calc'd % Yield Updated'), so state which one is used; (4) affinity-selection mass spectrometry (ASMS) binding data is not reaction data and is out of scope; (5) catalyst and base names need structures. The ORD Dataset must cite the paper DOI.

Pitfalls

Yields are LC-UV estimates against an internal standard, not isolated yields; conversion and yield columns coexist. Screens are spread across many sheets and files with overlap (compiled vs per-screen), so reviewers must check for deduplication. Many reactions give 0% yield (valid negative data). Precatalysts are named by trade name. Reaction conditions such as temperature, time and concentrations live in the SI PDF, not in the spreadsheets. It may need 2 datasets if library synthesis and condition screens are kept separate.

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.
