Title: Organic Chemistry reaction software help
Post by: earthnation112 on December 28, 2016, 03:14:10 PM

Hi, just wanted to know is there a software out there which is aimed at undergraduate organic chemistry student which predicts the products of let’s just say reactions such as:

- Nucleophilic additions
- Reaction of Aldehydes and Ketones with Alcohols
- Acetal Formation
- Thioacetals in the Formation of C-C Bonds

Just named a few types above, there’s of course a lot more, but is there anything out there in terms of software which one can utilize to predict the products of such reactions? Thank You

A similar question has come up often on these forums.  Here's one of the response threads:  http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=65458.msg235920#msg235920

Yes, there are.

And many other that are not listed therein. But:
Do not trust them, due to serious reasons that are clearly described by “fledarmus” in an answer to a similar question in this forum, as “Arkcon” underlines. http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=65458.msg235920#msg235920
