The lab tackles organic synthesis using machine learning and flow synthesis.
AboutAbout the lab
Combining machine learning and flow synthesis
The Precision Molecular Synthesis Chemistry Lab (Takizawa Lab) studies organic synthesis at the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research.
The lab's announcements report results such as research that incorporates machine learning to make the search for reaction conditions more efficient, and research that uses Bayesian optimization to find flow synthesis conditions.
A special lecture on synthesis using electrochemistry has also been held.
Key terms
- Machine learning
- A computational method that learns rules from data and uses them for prediction and for choosing conditions
- Flow synthesis
- A synthesis method that carries out a chemical reaction while continuously flowing the reacting liquids through a tube
- Bayesian optimization
- A method that predicts which conditions to try next based on past experimental results, finding good conditions in a small number of trials
