reaction mechanism

[tobias.opialla]

Hi!

I am currently looking for a solution to draw reaction mechanisms in
Latex. Structural typesetting so far works great, but do you have an
idea on including curved arrows and stuff directly linked to the
actual elements of the formula?

Any idea would be greatly acknowledged!

The Best, Tobias

Hi!
To draw reaction machanisms in Latex, you can use XyMTeX or ochem package. If you use Linux platform, use ochem very useful. To illustrate the mechanisms of organic reactions, curved arrows are used to show an electron shift. The macros for drawing such curved arrows are defined in the chmst-ps package of XyMTeX.Can you send for me a picture of  reaction machanisms, I will try to typeset for you. I am also beginer.
Best Regard, Gia Luan.

Oh I would really apprechiate this, i'll send you a svg and png and
good karma!

Btw: this is as far as I have my educt and product:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xymtex}
\usepackage{chemist}
\usepackage{upgreek}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\centering

\begin{XyMcompd}(2350,1500)(-200,-650){}{}%
\tetrahedral{0==C;1==\utrigonal{0==C;1==%
(yl);3D==O;2==O$^-$};2==$^+$H$_3$N;3==\tetrahedral{%
0==C;1==(yl);2==H;4==H;3==\tetrahedral{0==C;1==(yl);2==H;4==H;3==
\dtrigonal{0==C;1==(yl);2==O$^-$;3D==O}}};4==H}%
\hspace{2.5cm}%
\tetrahedral{0==\hspace{-0.6em}$_{\upalpha}$C;1==\utrigonal{0==C;1==%
(yl);3D==O;2==O$^-$};2==$^+$H$_3$N;3==\tetrahedral{%

(yl);2==O$^-$;3D==O}}};4==H}
\end{XyMcompd}%
