A lab that develops environmentally low-impact synthetic reactions using sunlight, electricity, and machine learning.
AboutAbout the lab
Making molecules with sunlight, electricity, and machine learning
The Precision Molecular Creation Chemistry Division (Takizawa Lab) studies the development of synthetic reaction processes with a small environmental burden, using energy from sunlight and electricity.
To make reactions proceed efficiently and quickly, the lab also works on data-driven domino synthesis, which actively uses machine learning.
Recently, in flow reaction processes using organocatalysts, the lab has used methods such as Bayesian optimization to find suitable reaction conditions in a short time from a minimal amount of training data.
The lab is pioneering practical data-driven flow and electrochemical synthesis methods, aiming to reduce labor and improve productivity in precision organic synthetic chemistry.
Key terms
- Bayesian optimization
- A method that chooses the next conditions to try based on previous results, getting close to the optimal conditions with few trials
- Flow reaction
- A method in which a reaction proceeds while the starting materials are continuously flowed through a tube
- Electrochemical synthesis
- A method of making substances by driving chemical reactions with electrical energy
ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops synthetic reaction processes with low environmental impact that use infinite and inexhaustible solar energy, or electrical energy that can directly activate target molecules. To make reactions more efficient and faster, the lab is also advancing data-driven domino synthesis, which actively uses machine learning.
