Abstract

A method for executing multiple chemical experiments in parallel may be provided. The method comprises receiving a list of actions to be performed for synthesizing a chemical product. Thereby, the actions correspond to at least two chemical partial reactions and the list comprises a delimiter symbol separating two chemical partial reactions, determining identical chemical partial reactions, and building a reaction commonality tree (RCT) of the chemical reactions. Furthermore, the method comprises executing a plurality of the identical chemical partial reactions independent of a sequence of chemical partial reactions of the reaction commonality tree only once. Each of the identical chemical partial reactions is executed in a different chemical reactor and each resulting intermediate product has a quantity of the sum of the related identical chemical partial reactions. The method also comprises, storing the intermediate chemical products in a separate container, and executing remaining chemical partial reactions according to the RCT.
