Today I am beta launching a project I have been working on for just over a year. The site www.chemsink.com is a place for chemists to discuss chemical reactions, while slowly building a verified free open chemical reactions database. I am launching the site with 1,200,000 compounds(a small racemic organic subset of pubChem) which are connected by 2,500,000 reactions.

I still have a whole list of things to work on, but I want to get people using the site and giving feedback.

To navigate on ChemSink, just search for the reactant or product you are interested in. If there associated reactions, they will appear on the page. To see an example compound that has reactions where it is a product and reactions where it is a reactant, go here. Please send me feedback!
