Design of Experiment (DoE) studies facilitate fast and efficient discovery and development of new chemical entities, which was an ongoing challenge: https://www.mt.com/global/en/home/app...

Organic chemists and engineers apply various techniques and methods to improve synthetic pathways to become more effective and minimize the consumption of precious starting material. Advancements in synthesis methods and tools have made improvements possible.

In synthetic organic chemistry labs, obstacles or constraints still surface and need to be resolved. A chemical reaction is affected by multiple parameters, making it difficult to find optimal parameters quickly and efficiently. Chemistry can be influenced by parameters including concentration, addition rate, temperature, the solvent, catalyst and pH. Frequently, parameters influence each other. Reactions may also be affected by the stirrer type or speed which impact the mass transfer and further influence the result of the experiment.

Rather than adopting a "trial-and-error" approach, where each parameter is examined individually and interactions between them cannot easily be detected, scientists can apply the Design of Experiments (DoE) methodology in the synthetic organic chemistry lab.
