Factors that need to be considered when designing a chemical synthesis process:
- Selection of required reagents and compounds and ensuring their availability beforehand a synthesis or experiment is conducted.
- Availability of different apparatus that are used for creating solutions; for example, chemical reactors, volumetric, conical flasks etc.
- Calculation of proper yield of products after a reaction. Any side reactions that may occur due to the presence of various reagents should also be considered.
- While designing processes for industrial uses, the end product should be tested on various organisms before releasing for human consumption. Different risk factors and cautions should be noted down.
- Emission of harmful by products to the environment should be minimized as much as possible to avoid pollution. Production cost should be kept moderate so that the products are within the range of every consumer regardless of their economic condition.
