## Description

This MCP server provides specialized decision support for organic chemists. It allows AI agents to identify suitable protecting groups using `find_compatible_group`, verify chemical orthogonality with `check_orthogonality`, and retrieve specific installation or removal instructions via `get_protection_protocol` and `get_deprotection_protocol`. It ensures chemical transformations are planned with high precision regarding pH, temperature, and reagent compatibility.

## Tools

### check_orthogonality
Evaluates if a selected protecting group will remain intact when other specified groups are being manipulated

### find_compatible_group
Identifies which protecting groups are suitable for a specific target functional group given the intended reaction environment

### get_deprotection_protocol
Provides the specific chemical instructions to remove the protecting group

### get_protection_protocol
Provides the specific chemical instructions to install the chosen protecting group

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Find a suitable protecting group for an alcohol in an acidic environment.
```

**Response:** 
```
A suitable protecting group for an alcohol in acidic conditions is a Silyl ether like TBS (tert-butyldimethylsilyl), which offers good stability.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the reagents needed to remove a Boc protecting group?
```

**Response:** 
```
To remove a Boc protecting group, you typically use Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in dichloromethane (DCM).
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if a Benzyl group is orthogonal to a TMS group during deprotection with fluoride.
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the Benzyl group is orthogonal to the TMS group when using fluoride-based deprotection conditions.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I find a group that won't react in basic conditions?**
You can use the `find_compatible_group` tool by specifying the target functional group and setting the reaction environment to basic conditions.

**Can I check if two protecting groups are orthogonal?**
Yes, use the `check_orthogonality` tool to evaluate if a primary group can be removed without affecting other groups present.

**Does this provide specific reagents for deprotection?**
Yes, the `get_deprotection_protocol` tool provides the specific reagents and conditions required to remove a protecting group.
