What will AGI do for Chemical Synthesis Yield Optimization?
Process chemists and materials engineers face a severe bottleneck when scaling molecular discoveries into viable production volumes: chemical synthesis yield. A reaction that produces a high yield in a laboratory micro-vessel often degrades significantly when scaled, resulting in wasted reagents and unviable unit economics. Optimizing this yield requires pinpointing the exact combination of temperature, pressure, solvent ratios, catalysts, and reaction time across a vast, highly non-linear parameter space.
