1Specify the reaction logic and conditions
State the order of operations, limiting reagent, catalyst, solvent, temperature, time, atmosphere, and workup when they matter. Ask for placeholders when an exact structure will be inserted later.
- Separate reagents, conditions, workup, and purification
- Distinguish equilibrium, resonance, and reaction arrows
- Mark proposed intermediates as proposed rather than observed
- Keep stoichiometry and yield tied to verified records
