De novo design has been a hotly pursued topic for many years. Most recent developments have involved the use of deep learning methods for generative molecular design. Despite increasing levels of algorithmic sophistication, the design of molecules that are synthetically accessible remains a major challenge. Reaction-based de novo design takes a conceptually simpler approach and aims to address synthesisability directly by mimicking synthetic chemistry and driving structural transformations by known reactions that are applied in a stepwise manner...
