Combining Bayesian optimization and automation to simultaneously optimize reaction conditions and routes.

Reaching optimal reaction conditions is crucial to achieve high yields, minimal by-products, and environmentally sustainable chemical reactions. With the recent rise of artificial intelligence, there has been a shift from traditional Edisonian trial-and-error optimization to data-driven and automated approaches, which offer significant advantages. Here, we showcase the capabilities of an integrated platform; we conducted simultaneous optimizations of four different terminal alkynes and two reaction routes using an automation platform combined with a Bayesian optimization platform. Remarkably, we achieved a conversion rate of over 80% for all four substrates in 23 experiments, covering
