COSYMA is a computer program whose use is to suggest synthesis strategies for complex organic molecules. During a learning stage, which has been presented in previous papers, strategies (sequences of key reaction steps) are automatically extracted from total syntheses, described in the literature, and stored in a knowledge base. This paper presents the storage of strategies and the use of COSYMA to solve synthetic problems: how strategies applicable to a submitted target molecule are selected, and “instanciated” according to the structural specificities of this target. We provide an example of using COSYMA for discovering synthesis strategies for acromelic acid. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003)
