Click is a collection of pre-made and tested reaction patterns to use with RDKit molecules. The reactions can be used to sequentially modify a molecule, or to create combinatorial libraries. Click is only doing the reaction as you've specified and does not check if the reaction would work.
- RDKit (version >= 2019.03)
- Python (version >= 3.6)
To install Click, run
pip install ClickReaction
Many examples can be found in the tests folder.

reaction = BocRemoval(bocamine=boc_protected_amine)
product = reaction.get_product()
assert "CN" == Chem.MolToSmiles(product)

product = reaction.get_product()
assert "Cn1cc(-c2ccccc2)nn1" == Chem.MolToSmiles(product)
