Regio-Selectivity Prediction with a Machine-Learned Reaction Representation and On-the-Fly Quantum Mechanical Descriptors

<div> <div> <div> <p>We introduce a new method that combines machine-learned reaction representation with selected quantum mechanical descriptors to predict regio-selectivity in general substitution reactions. We construct a reactivity descriptor database based on ab initio calculations of 130k organic molecules, and train a multi-task constrained model to calculate demanded descriptors on-the-fly. </p> </div> </div> </div>
