Possible reactions and future experiments.

Dear SM i am new here on the forums, but i have followed you as a non user for some years now.

First of all, Hello! :P
Next i would like to ask if there is an online index/program/database where you enter a chemical compound and where it then shows possible reactions using this reagent and reactions where the compound is used.

Second thing:

Please help me with inspiration and ideas as to which experiments, reactions / synthesis of other compounds that is possible to make or you suggest as a fun experiment from these following compounds, as to glassware limits there are almost no limits.

Examples of reactions to make:

Glacial Acetic acid from H2SO4 + Sodium Acetate.
Benzoic Acid from Sodium Benzoate + HCL
Mandelins Reagent from Ammonium Metvanadate + H2SO4
Some Grignard reagent using iodine + magnesium?
Chloroform from Acetone + Sodium Hypochlorite
Elemental Sulfur from Sodium Thiosulfate + HCL
Elemental Sodium or Potassium using the Hydroxide salt of one then Magnesium as reduction agent and a tertiary alcohol in an inert oil (like paraffin oil) to form elemental metal Na / K.
Acetylsalicylic acid / Aspirin synthesis from Acetic Anhydride, Salicylic acid, and a catalyst acid.
More suggestions like these above would be awesome, also more difficult ones.

Your suggestions could be anything from salts, new compounds, more complicated synthesis which requires more complex setups and glassware are also welcome :)

Yes; Reaxys is one. Most universities provide access to it. However, I don't know of any good free databases like this.
