Combinatorial Chemistry is a process of synthesizing many different substances quickly and at the same time.In traditional chemistry the chemist synthesize a paricular compound and if synthesis of it involve the large number of steps then at each steps the intermediates is purified.On the other hand, when chemists use combinatorial methods they will always be making many different compounds at the same time often in the same reaction vessel.So this process reduces the time and labor involved in traditional chemistry methods where compounds are synthesized individually, one at a time.
