Try to reinstall everything. E.g.

brew update
brew remove boost boost-python3 rdkit
brew install rdkit --with-python3

You could try this also:

# backup your brew installed packages list
brew list --formula > my_brew_packages.txt
# uninstall all of them
brew uninstall --force $(cat my_brew_packages.txt)
# install rdkit from scratch
brew install rdkit --with-python3
