The production of DPC via a one-step process (Figure 1) is highly desired by industry. The key to the economic viable of this route is in the optimization of the catalysis system. Current catalysts are multi-component mixtures of metal salts, a halide sources and co-factors (See Table 1 for an example formulation). In order to discover new catalysts and optimize existing ones a high-throughput screening system was developed to run multiple chemical reactions in parallel on a small scale. High throughput experimentation has been used successfully since the 1970s to spend the development of new materials.
