Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our AI-driven organic chemistry solver.
General Questions
Is this solver really free?
Yes. We believe high-quality STEM education should be accessible. You can solve reaction products and see the first step of any mechanism without a subscription or account.
Can I upload a photo of my homework?
Yes, our tool includes a drag-and-drop image upload feature. It uses specialized OCR to recognize chemical structures from screenshots, PDF images, or handwritten notes.
Scientific Accuracy
How accurate are the mechanism predictions?
The solver is trained on thousands of textbook-verified mechanisms. It evaluates regioselectivity (Markovnikov’s rule, Zaitsev rule) and thermodynamic vs. kinetic control to provide the most accurate major product prediction.
Does it show “Curved Arrow” notation?
Yes. Unlike generic AI, our tool maps the precise electron flow from nucleophile to electrophile, using standard curved arrow notation to show transition states and intermediates.
What about stereochemistry?
Stereochemistry is a core feature. The AI tracks R/S configurations across mechanisms, handling backside attacks in SN2 and anti-periplanar requirements in E2 elimination.
Advanced Features
Can it help with retrosynthesis?
Yes, you can use the retrosynthesis mode to work backwards from a target molecule to simpler precursors, suggesting viable synthons and reagents.
Does it support Named Reactions?
Absolutely. We have specific logic for major named reactions like Diels-Alder, Wittig, Aldol, Grignard, and Friedel-Crafts.
