High school chemistry teacher contacted me asking if I know of any tools to easily convert organic chemical equations to their corresponding diagrams. Couldn't find something... so I built it.

Type the equation in words. The equations need to follow this format:
compound name ->
compound name + compound name
Using the ->
is important. It is minus sign (-
) followed by a greater than sign (>
). Using equal will not work.
Examples:
benzoyl chloride + H2 -> benzaldehyde
(you can mix and match formulae likeH2
with compounds names likebenzaldehyde
)toluene + cl2 -> benzal chloride
Benzoic acid -> m- Nitrobenzyl alcohol
Notes:
- Currently this generates images, which you can then copy and paste onto word. I can change this to write things in letters if you like.
- Currently, it only supports single equations at a time. Cannot write
benzoyl chloride -> benzaldehyde -> benzene
in one go. I can add this too if you need. - Only supports chemical formula right now. Can possibly add diagrams for organic chemistry (like display
benzene ring
withCH3
instead ofC7H8
when you type toluene)... But I will need to make a list of compounds for which we want image vs. chemical formula - I know it is a little slow right now, but what I can do is add maybe 5 or 10 text boxes, then you can input all of the equations that you want together, press submit and let it take a couple of seconds to generate all equations at the same time!
