ReactionFlash

Want to refresh your memory on named chemical reactions before an exam or a group meeting? Get all the details with ReactionFlash as a great way to learn named reactions, understand their mechanisms and view examples published in peer-reviewed literature.

Designed and developed in consultation with Professor Dr. Erick M. Carreira of ETH Zürich, the app now covers over 1'000 named chemistry reactions. Professor Carreira has helped ensure that we have all the fundamental reactions that should be part of every chemist’s toolkit: from the best-known ones to the ones only Nobel Prize winners remember!

The app is designed like a set of flash cards so it can be used as a learning tool as well as a reference. Each ‘card’ shows the reaction, its mechanism and examples from peer-reviewed, published literature. It also has a quiz mode that lets you test your knowledge.

Linking into Reaxys enables you to find the most recent examples of each reaction, many with experimental details. Reaxys delivers experimental facts from the literature, enabling researchers to find the best synthetic routes and conditions. Find out more at https://www.elsevier.com/solutions/reaxys

Download the app now and see if you know all the named reactions!

Summary:
- Learn named reactions
- Review and understand mechanisms
- Explore examples published in peer-reviewed literature
- Take the ReactionFlash quiz and see how much you know

Works gr8 on my old Note 8. Only problem is no exit button. The back function doesn't work either. There's a lot of apps that leave that off until enuff people complain. I'm just an old-school guy. Had to go into the inconvenient & in my humble opinion the inefficient multi-window screen in order to exit out. Didn't see any ads. Therefore 5☆'s on the "r8 ur experience for ads shown inside the app."

Lovely app with a very helpful, polite support team. Definitely recommend it to JEE Aspirants.

Awesome App to quickly look up a reaction. Although, on thing is annoying: Clicking a reaction rotates the screen to landscape and if you're not very careful your gyrometer rotates it right back, going back out into the menu. Edit(since i cant reply): I have read your response (same as to other replies). That would be fine, if the menu was in landscape. But it is not... So it flip flops around. It's not a user error.

This app has nice features, however as mentioned in other reviews the orientation is unstable rendering it unusable. It swaps between landscape and portrait mode and when turned to accomodate the new screen orientation it interferes with what the app is doing eg. In quiz mode it switches to landscape if you rotate phone it pauses the quiz and returns to portrait orientation. It is severe enough that i cannot use the app, this can't be corrected by disabling landscape reactions in the settings.

It's perfect, and can be more than perfect if there is more details for reaction mechanism. Thank you

This is an excellent app for students of all grades who are in some way linked to organic chemistry. The layout and user interface is at its simplest best. App has loads of information and the reaction mechanisms are so elaborately explained. I have been using this app foe around a year now and its utility never ceases to awe me. Hats off to the developer team. 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍

Tho. S. Mar 13, 2020     

really frickin good app my only reserve is the quizzing mode where it just gives a name. i think itd be cool to be able to see just a start and end compound or maybe where they give either reagent, main compound, or endpoint and give options. But really good as i can review any reaction happily

Sch. F. Oct 21, 2020     

Really a great application to all the chemists... It's very handy and acts like a digital copy of all the reactions' catalog... My only suggestion would be... It would've been very nice if one could view the starred reaction separately instead of going on searching for each and every starred reaction evertime in the same entire list...

Ayu. J. May 28, 2019     

Nice app ... But there is a problen with the orientation It automatically rotate from portait to landscape and vica versa without even rotating the phone .. I think there is some glitch or a bug..... Provide an update... Rest all is good and appreciable.....

Excellently built. One of the best app for Name Reaction in Organic chemistry. I like this app. It's working fine. But it is not possible to return to home page. Some modifications are required. The icon can be changed.

MAN. K. G. Dec 10, 2019     

This app is great for students, especially for the ones preparing for competitive exams. But few can be made, such as including the temperature range of the reaction, mentioning where the substitution or addition or elimination takes place in less or more hindered sites, will it be cis or trans, the yield percentage range, etc.

Hem. P. Oct 23, 2019     

This is really good, you get all reactions at a place which makes it really easy to review reactions while doing synthesis etc. Thanks to Developers for such nice and distraction free UI, and another big thanks sure Elsevier for sharing this huge data for free.

Pra. K. Jun 12, 2019     

Excellent app but there is the problem of screen rotation in the app, it automatically goes to potrait mode after you click back from a reaction. (Not related :- Is there a desktop version of the app?)

Tra. J. Nov 26, 2020     

Would be excellent if there was an option to disable the auto-rotate feature - it can be pretty jarring to unexpectedly be sent into another view, and using the app lying down is currently not an option

Den. D. Mar 31, 2022     

Great reference app for reaction mechanisms, with no ads.

Kit. H. Apr 20, 2019     

Edited: The app is behaving better now and I am finally able to enjoy its features. A very helpful app for studying for ochem! It would be nice, as someone else mentioned, to have more customisation ability but overall great.

ebb. e. Nov 8, 2019     

This app is f****** awesome!!! Edit- I noticed some dumbass in the review section think that the automatic rotation is a bug but its not. App rotates the screen automatically to maximize the reaction real estate.

Han. M. Jan 13, 2022     

This app is really helpful to learn Advanced Chemistry. But i think it would be better if the games for learning by heart the reactions are improved.

Pra. A. Sep 6, 2021     

I am not able to use this app on my phone. It does not even open. Earlier it used to work very nicely. Checked for updates but there isn't any. Update - after following instructions given by developer. I am able to use the app. Thanks a lot.

Har. K. S. May 7, 2019     

slight problem with the orientation sensor ...keeps switch between portrait and landscape......only problem i found....otherwise a rather great app

Mas. V. Nov 9, 2021     

Great, it seems to me that it is a wonderful app. Thanks for your great efforts dear doctors as well as your colleagues. I saw that the book was printed by elsevir company. Wow, it must be an amazing informative book.

Sim. H. Feb 5, 2019     

Nice start, but pls make it that can make lists so we can study specific groups of reactions. I dont need every reaction for my next exam / lab course (I mean that kinda possible with favourites, but more packs of reactions would be better)

Mic. B. Sep 29, 2021     

Pretty good app. Wish the bottom feature (that let's you switch between reaction, mechanism, etc.) Was always present. The current setup seems pointless from a user experience. Also, is there any way to donate to this app?

San. M. Jul 26, 2020     

Seems like a great app! I wish there was a 'random reaction' button so that the learning experience was less text book like .

shr. s. Sep 8, 2019     

A very good app for the students because they get all the name reactions at a time and it helps a lot. A big thanks to the developer group.

sha. S. Jan 7, 2020     

This is an amazing compilation of nearly all the reactions, from elementary to advance level also it included almost all the reactions that were in my course, which helped me as short notes

Sum. D. Jun 9, 2020     

This is an essential app I think for any undergraduate or graduate student of chemistry. It covers all the name reaction and keep on updating the every new name reaction 🤩 I always recommends this app to others...

Sud. P. Feb 6, 2021     

I don't think a useful tool like this comes free but then this free app with so much knowledge base is perfect gift to any chemist. Thank you for the latest update.

Muz. R. Dec 2, 2019     

Very handy and easy. The examples for every reaction helps to understand well and also helps to apply on various other molecules

Muz. A. M. Nov 19, 2021     

Best app for learning mechanism for such diverse reactions. It would be very helpful if you add reagents like DIBAL-H, LDA, etc.
