Lapkin  *abe  \nDiscovering the optimum process parameters of ultra-fast reactions, such as lithium–halogen exchange reactions, is typically achieved by time and resource inefficient methods including one factor at a time optimization (OFAT) or classical factorial design of experiments (DoE) . Herein, we demonstrate the development of a machine learning workflow coupled with a flow chemistry platform for the optimization of the reaction conditions of a lithium–halogen exchange reaction. Flow chemistry platform allowed us to precisely control the process parameters (temperature, residence time and stoichiometry) and enabled robust and reliable data collection to train a machine learning algorithm. A Bayesian multi-objective optimization algorithm TSEMO (Thompson sampling efficient multi-objective optimization) was used to optimize the process parameters and to build process knowledge for different optimization campaigns with different mixing intensifications (capillary reactor vs. microchip reactor) . The algorithm successfully identified a set of optimal conditions corresponding the trade-off between yield and impurity in different optimization campaigns. Furthermore, the optimization results and Gaussian process (GP) surrogate models within TSEMO were further analyzed to infer the operating regime of the system for different mixing intensifications (mixing controlled vs. reaction-controlled regime) . The machine learning workflow has proven to be robust and data efficient, revealing rich information about the reaction studied compared to single-objective, OFAT and DoE approaches.  \n1. Introduction  \nOrganolithium compounds, such as aryllithiums are powerful tools in organic synthesis due to their high reactivity and versatility.1,2 The reaction between an aryl halide and alkyl lithium is extremely fast and highly exothermic; the resulting aryllithium intermediates have short lifetimes. The reaction time scale is usually of the order of mixing time which makes these reactions difficult to control and study. When batch processing is employed, such reactions are carried out at cryogenic conditions (below −70 °C) to avoid side reactions  \na Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore, CARES Ltd. 1 CREATE Way, CREATE Tower \\#05-05, Singapore 138602, Singapore b Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, University of Cambridge,  \nCambridge CB3 0AS, UK.
