Submitted summary

ORD Dataset for Cook, Clément & Newman, Nat. Protoc. 2021 (doi 10.1038/s41596-020-00452-7): 289 reactions. There are 288 HTE reactions, one per physical well (A1–H12) per replicate plate (A, B, C), each with that plate's calibrated GC yield. The last one is the 1.0 mmol round-bottom-flask scale-up, with its isolated yield, workup and characterisation. ord-schema 0.8.3 validator: 0 errors, 0 warnings (validation.txt in the sources zip).

  • Well map: taken from article Fig. 7 (open figure page). Columns 1–12 are ligands L1–L12 (SI Fig. 1). Rows A–D are 2-chloropyrimidine with B1–B4 and rows E–H are 2-bromopyrimidine with B1–B4. B1–B4 = NaOtBu, Cs2CO3, KHMDS, DBU, confirmed against the SI Fig. 11 averages.
  • Table 1 labels: Supporting Table 1's "experiment" labels run down the columns of the plate, so they are not physical well names. They are kept in each reaction's identifier. All 288 yields match the SI heatmaps (Figs. 3–5).
  • Checks against the SI averages: ligand, base and mono/bidentate averages match. The SI Fig. 12 halide averages do not reproduce under either halide assignment, so the printed Fig. 7 labels are used.
  • Equipment per plate: plates A/B used a hotplate with magnetic stirring and gravity filtration; plate C used a heated tumble stirrer and pressurised filtration.
  • Amounts: per-well absolute amounts are only in the closed protocol. HTE amounts are recorded as stoichiometry relative to 2-pyrrolidone (UnmeasuredAmount CUSTOM).
  • Scale-up: recorded with 2-bromopyrimidine, as the procedure text and masses say (the scheme draws the chloride). The reported 71% and 87 mg are both kept, with a note that 87 mg is 53% of 1.0 mmol.
  • Email placeholder: record_created uses a reserved example.org email in place of a personal address. Replace it with the submitter's address on ORD submission.

The sources zip contains the README (source of each part, how structures were checked, known gaps), parse_table.py, wells.csv, the heatmap transcription, build_dataset.py, the structure check and validation.txt.

Curate this paper into an ORD dataset

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

  • Paper: Reaction screening in multiwell plates: high-throughput optimization of a Buchwald–Hartwig amination
  • Authors: Adam Cook, Roxanne Clément, Stephen G. Newman
  • Published: Nature Protocols, 2021-01-11
  • DOI: 10.1038/s41596-020-00452-7
  • 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

Data source: the Supplementary Information PDF on nature.com (open download, about 1.5 MB). Supporting Table 1 lists GC yields for all 96 wells (A1-H12) of three replicate plates (A, B, C). Yields come from a 5-point calibration against 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene as internal standard. Reaction: [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl]2-catalysed N-arylation of 2-pyrrolidone with 2-chloro- or 2-bromopyrimidine in toluene at 100 °C for 16 h. Variables are 12 ligands (RuPhos, Xantphos, DPEPhos, IPr, PCy3, dppf, BINAP, dcype, DavePhos, tBuXPhos, SPhos, P(o-tolyl)3) and 4 bases (NaOtBu, Cs2CO3, KHMDS, DBU). The well-to-condition map is in article Fig. 7. Check it against the ligand, base and halide averages in SI Figs. 9-12. Plates A and B used a hotplate and gravity filtration. Plate C used a tumble stirrer and pressurised filtration, so record the equipment per plate. The source has no SMILES. All components are common commercial reagents and can be resolved by name. A 1 mmol round-bottom-flask scale-up (71% isolated yield) can be included as one extra reaction.

Pitfalls

Each well was run in triplicate on separate plates. Recommended: one Reaction per well per plate (288 reactions), not averaged outcomes. The plate map comes from a closed-access figure, so check it against the SI summary averages. Some wells report 0% yield. Plate C used different stirring/filtration hardware. Outcomes are GC calibrated yields, not isolated yields.

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.
