Such a database would be hugely helpful across chemistry. Right now it’s extremely expensive to access databases like Reaxys or Scifinder, and they’re not usually programmatically searchable at scale. Some databases do exist based on the patent literature (https://depth-first.com/articles/2019/01/28/the-nextmove-pat...) but they’re not as well curated or complete. A pubchem like database for reactions would be really awesome.
