SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the need for a website that generates chemical equations based on specified reactants and products. The user specifically mentions the example of C2H4 as a reactant and C2H3Cl as a product, highlighting potential reactions such as C2H4 + Cl2 --> C2H3Cl + HCl and C2H4 + Cl2 --> C2H4Cl2. The conversation notes that while there are searchable databases like SciFinder and Beilstein, they are proprietary and typically require a subscription, which may be accessible through academic institutions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of chemical reactions and stoichiometry
  • Familiarity with organic chemistry concepts
  • Knowledge of chemical notation and equation balancing
  • Access to chemical databases like SciFinder or Beilstein
NEXT STEPS
  • Research alternative free chemical equation generators
  • Explore the functionalities of SciFinder and Beilstein for chemical research
  • Learn about chemical reaction prediction algorithms
  • Investigate educational resources for organic chemistry databases
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, researchers in organic chemistry, educators seeking resources for teaching chemical reactions, and anyone interested in chemical equation generation tools.

I'm looking for a website that suggests chemical equations based on a single reactant and product.
For example if I have C2H4 as a reactant and C2H3Cl as a product, I should get

1. C2H4 + Cl2 --> C2H3Cl + HCl

2. C2H4 + Cl2 --> C2H4Cl2
C2H4Cl2 --> C2H3Cl + HCl
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Finding reactions given product and reactant is not an easy task, so while there are some searchable databases, mostly focused on organic chemistry (e.g. SciFinder and Beilstein), they are proprietary and require a subscription to access (you'd likely be able to get access through a university if you are a student, however).
