Frequently asked questions

Which name reactions are included?

Over seventy, covering the reactions most often asked in school-leaving exams (A-level, IB, CBSE, JEE and NEET) and first-year university courses, including condensations, rearrangements, oxidations, reductions and aromatic substitutions.

Do the name reaction templates show the full mechanism?

Yes. Each one shows the overall reaction and then each mechanistic step with curly arrows, intermediates and charges, followed by the key points.

Are the name reactions templates free?

3 of the 72 name reactions templates are free to download. All of them can be previewed here and opened and edited in MolDraw; downloading the premium ones is part of MolDraw Pro.
