Abstract Traditional optimization methods using one variable at a time approach waste and chemicals assume that different parameters are independent from another. Hence, simpler, more practical, rapid process for predicting reaction conditions can be applied to several manufacturing environmentally sustainable processes is highly desirable. In this study, biaryl compounds were synthesized efficiently an organic Brønsted acid catalyst in flow system. Bayesian optimization-assisted multi-parameter screening, which employs one-hot encoding appropriate acquisition function, rapidly predicted the suitable synthesis of 2-amino-2′-hydroxy-biaryls (maximum yield 96%). The established protocol was also efficient 2,2′-dihydroxy biaryls (up 97% yield). optimized successfully gram-scale synthesis. We believe our algorithm beneficial as it screen reactor design without complicated quantification descriptors.
