解决计算机辅助合成规划对实现全自动机器人合成流程、提升药物发现效率至关重要。核心挑战在于弥合计算路线设计与实验室实际操作之间的差距,尤其是准确预测每步合成的可行实验过程。本文提出QFANG,一种科学推理语言模型,可直接从反应方程式生成精确、结构化的实验步骤,并附带显式的链式思维推理。为构建QFANG,我们利用大语言模型从专利文献中提取并处理了905,990条化学反应与结构化操作序列组成的高质量数据集。引入化学引导推理(CGR)框架,大规模生成基于化学知识的链式思维数据。模型随后通过监督微调激发复杂化学推理能力,并采用可验证奖励强化学习(RLVR)进一步提升步骤准确性。实验表明,QFANG在传统NLP相似性指标及基于LLM评估的化学感知评价器上均优于先进通用推理模型和最近邻检索基线。此外,QFANG在部分域外反应类别上具有泛化能力,并能适应实验室条件变化和用户特定约束。我们认为,QFANG生成高质量合成步骤的能力,是弥合计算合成规划与全自动实验室合成之间差距的重要一步。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Solving computer-aided synthesis planning is essential for enabling fully automated, robot-assisted synthesis workflows and improving the efficiency of drug discovery. A key challenge, however, is bridging the gap between computational route design and practical laboratory execution, particularly the accurate prediction of viable experimental procedures for each synthesis step. In this work, we present QFANG, a scientific reasoning language model capable of generating precise, structured experimental procedures directly from reaction equations, with explicit chain-of-thought reasoning. To develop QFANG, we curated a high-quality dataset comprising 905,990 chemical reactions paired with structured action sequences, extracted and processed from patent literature using large language models. We introduce a Chemistry-Guided Reasoning (CGR) framework that produces chain-of-thought data grounded in chemical knowledge at scale. The model subsequently undergoes supervised fine-tuning to elicit complex chemistry reasoning. Finally, we apply Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) to further enhance procedural accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that QFANG outperforms advanced general-purpose reasoning models and nearest-neighbor retrieval baselines, measured by traditional NLP similarity metrics and a chemically aware evaluator using an LLM-as-a-judge. Moreover, QFANG generalizes to certain out-of-domain reaction classes and adapts to variations in laboratory conditions and user-specific constraints. We believe that QFANG's ability to generate high-quality synthesis procedures represents an important step toward bridging the gap between computational synthesis planning and fully automated laboratory synthesis.
