Can a Chemical Reaction Solver Determine Reaction Products?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

No existing software can accurately determine the products of organic chemistry reactions. The discussion highlights the reliance on human expertise, referred to as a "trained brain," to predict reaction outcomes. The consensus is that while the idea of a chemical reaction solver is appealing, it remains unfulfilled, and the first developer to create such a tool would likely achieve significant financial success.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of organic chemistry principles
  • Familiarity with chemical reaction mechanisms
  • Knowledge of computational chemistry concepts
  • Awareness of current software limitations in chemistry
NEXT STEPS
  • Research existing computational chemistry software tools
  • Explore advancements in artificial intelligence for chemical predictions
  • Investigate organic chemistry reaction databases
  • Study the role of machine learning in predicting chemical reactions
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, software developers in the field of chemistry, and researchers interested in computational methods for predicting chemical reactions.

Is there any type of software that can figure out the product of a reaction, such as organic chemistry reactions?

Nope.
 
There is a device that usually can predict reaction products, it is called "trained brain".
 
Well the first person to make this will become a millionaire I suppose
