Walk the model: caffeine
Showcase: powered by SynovAI
Step 1 of 5
Walk SynovAI's retrosynthesis of caffeine. The teaching beat is N-methylation regiochemistry: textbook order is N7 first, then N3, then N1, so retrosynthetically you peel them off in reverse. The model may pick a different cut order; when you match the textbook order and the model does not, you beat the AI.
Step 1: cut this product back to its reactants
