The efficient synthesis of organic compounds is an important field of research, which sets the basis for numerous applications in medicine or materials science. Based on the polarity induced by functional groups, logical bond disconnections can be deduced for the elaboration of organic compounds. Nevertheless, this classical approach makes synthesis rigid, as not all bond disconnections are possible.
