Abstract
Natural products play a critical role in modern organic synthesis and learning synthetic techniques is an important component of the organic laboratory experience. In addition to traditional one-step organic synthesis laboratories, a multistep natural product synthesis is an interesting experiment to challenge students. The proposed three-step synthesis describes the total synthesis of the caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), a potent 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor from honeybee hives. Recrystallization, flash column chromatography, and circular chromatography were used for purifications. Structure verification for CAPE and all intermediates uses infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR, 1 H and 13 C) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS). This experiment is appropriate for a second-year organic chemistry laboratory.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
