Molecular reactions database

CHRIS25 - 22-5-2014 at 03:41

An Image from a very very expensive database will suffice to explain what I am looking for: To be able to visualize a reaction; If anyone can help me here I would be grateful, this kind of visualization has already leap-frogged me into a better understanding. I would like to plug in very simple reactions and see the results. Failing this, if anybody can point me to a site that simply has hundreds of examples of this sort of thing, then that would be great as well, anything to learn more. Thankyou.

Orgsyn presents visualised reaction mechanisms for just about every synthesis it has on record. Trouble is that you'll have to invest a bit of time to learn to navigate that site and find what precisely you're looking for.

For a beginner it also helps to try and familiarise yourself with the main 'families' of organic reactions. Chemguide does a reasonable job of it, here:

Thankyou gentlemen, all of this is tremendously helpful. Although I should add that I had already found the organic website, unfortunately I am only doing the inorganic area at the moment.

Nicodem, quite an extensive help there, quite a few I already have found over the year, but nothing with regards to a molecular results database. In fact, after quite an extensive search over two days it seems that one does not exist in the public domain, unlike a couple of organic sites, nevermind, we beginners can't have everything.
