Microscale multiparallel chemistry platform technologies enable modern synthetic chemists to rapidly apply known potential solutions for a given synthetic transformation to new, high-complexity synthetic problems. This paradigm is typically most successful for solving problems where a rich history of relevant literature precedents and a thorough mechanistic understanding of the target reaction already exist. For example, a Suzuki reaction platform employing an array of known effective phosphine ligands, reaction solvents, and inorganic bases can be screened to uncover optimal substrate-specific reaction conditions with a high probability of success. However, many synthetic problems arise for which rationally designed platforms are not available, and cannot be designed owing to a lack of precedent or understanding. Nevertheless, microscale high-throughput experimentation (HTE) tools can be used to maximize the opportunity to serendipitously improve reaction performance, and several recent, high-profile reports have highlighted some initial progress in this area.[1–8]Herein, we describe a broad-based, microscale additivescreening platform that was designed to minimize complexity and cost/time bottlenecks in the discovery of new ways to improve the performance for a wide variety of reactions. By using this approach, a single chemist was able to set up and analyze 475 different reaction conditions in a single day to identify new catalysts for the preparation of high-value pyrimidinone heterocycles, which are at the core of HIV Integrase inhibitors.[9, 10] Follow-up investigations of identified conditions combined with quantum mechanical calculations
