Recommending reactions

ChatGPT can be trained on reaction databases to recommend reactions for a given starting material. This can help chemists design new synthetic routes and optimize existing ones.

User: Can you recommend a reaction to convert benzene to phenol?

ChatGPT: Sure, there are several reactions that can convert benzene to phenol. One common method is the Dow process, which involves the reaction of benzene with propylene to form cumene, followed by oxidation of cumene to phenol. Another method is the Hock process, which involves the reaction of benzene with sodium hydroxide and oxygen to form phenol and water.
