摘要
Traditional synthesis made outstanding achievements but still suffers various drawbacks,such as manual operation,poor efficiency,and lack of reproducibility.Thanks to the development of laboratory automation,synthetic chemistry is now chasing a pavement from a labor-intensive process to intelligent automation.Herein,we highlight some of the most recent representative breakthroughs in automated synthesis and present an outlook for this field.We hope this Topic can arouse chemists'interest in automated synthe-sis and drive synthetic automation to a better intelligent and automatic way.
