The synthesis of organic compounds is one of the most essential pursuits in the field of chemistry, utilizing technical expertise, imagination, and scientific judgment. There exist a universe � one comprising millions of known reactions � that is surprisingly well-ordered, and its evolution follows trends that have not changed since origin of the discipline. Yet, this universe has not been able to provide us with clear and concise synthetic pathways that are useful to chemists. Using our software environment called 'Chematica', developed by chemists and theorists; we show unique pathways to natural product and pharmaceutical targets.
