High-throughput experimentation (HTE) is a well-established technique used in the pharmaceutical industry to accelerate compound synthesis and route optimization through automated chemical processes. A key part of any HTE workflow is the analytical component, through which the reaction outcome can be determined. The development of new analytical techniques capable of high-throughput data generation from nanoscale chemical reactions has been required to streamline the HTE process and address challenges generated through the recent move to miniaturize synthesis. In this Perspective, we review the currently available state-of-the-art analytical methods, discuss the challenges encountered in high-throughput analysiswith a particular focus on the analysis of nanoscale reactions, and provide a future outlook on potential developments in the field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
