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. ## Other template categories [Mechanisms](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/mechanisms/)[Resonance](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/resonance/)[Stereochemistry](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/stereochemistry/)[Catalytic cycles](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/catalytic-cycles/)[Pericyclic reactions](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/pericyclic-reactions/)[Biochemistry](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/biochemistry/)[Spectroscopy](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/spectroscopy/)[Research figures](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/research-figures/)[Lab safety](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/lab-safety/)[Lab notebook](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/lab-notebook/)[Teaching lab](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/teaching-lab/)[Lab reference cards](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/lab-reference-cards/)[Medicinal chemistry](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/medicinal-chemistry/)[Polymers](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/polymers/)[Organic](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/organic/)[Lab reference](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/lab-reference/)[Medicinal](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/medicinal/)[General chemistry](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/general-chemistry/)[Materials](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/materials/)[Natural products](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/natural-products/)[Physical chemistry](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/physical-chemistry/)[General & inorganic](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/general-and-inorganic/)[Reaction maps](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/reaction-maps/)[Graphene](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/graphene/)[COFs](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/cofs/)[MOFs](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/mofs/)[Dendrimers](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/dendrimers/)[Reaction setups](https://www.moldraw.com/templates/reaction-setups/) MolDraw Pro Download all 370 templates - Export the 291 premium templates as PNG, SVG or PDF - AI chemistry assistant - Structure scanning from images - Cloud save and teaching slides [See Pro plans](https://www.moldraw.com/pricing) Free templates stay free.
