Abstract Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions are of high contemporary importance in organic synthesis. Recently, machine learning (ML) has shown promise accelerating the development newer catalytic protocols. However, need for large amount experimental data can present a bottleneck implementing ML models. Here, we propose meta-learning workflow that harness literature-derived to extract shared reaction features and requires only few examples predict outcome new reactions. Prototypical networks used as method enantioselectivity hydrogenation olefins. This model consistently provides significant performance improvement over other popular methods such random forests graph neural networks. The our meta-model is analyzed with varying sizes training demonstrate its utility even limited data. A good on an out-of-sample test set further indicates general applicability approach. We believe this work will provide leap forward identifying promising early phases when minimal available.
