  "abstract": "In this study, we employ Bayesian optimization to identify conditions for enzyme-catalyzed, site-selective esterifications of pyranoside derivatives. Our findings indicate that Bayesian algorithms facilitate these challenging optimizations, which involve simultaneous variation of enzyme identity, solvent, acyl donor loading, time and temperature, across a range of substrates with various configurations, protective groups and anomeric substituents. Using the experimental optimization data obtained for eighteen pyranoside substrates, we evaluate models for yield prediction and explore approaches for ‘warm-starting’ optimizations of previously unseen substrates. Products of the method are applied in photocatalytic hydrogen atom transfer reactions to generate ketodeoxy sugars.",
