I don't know of any chemicals but I know some people who break up the clay themselves before they start growing and add better soil with minerals and such. And you should first germinate your seeds instead of just scatter then on the ground. Germ. them then plant them outside about 2-3 cm deep into the ground after their taproots have appeared.

If i was doing it, i'd dig a hole about a cubic foot big and fill it with cheap compost so the plant can get established before it has to start penetrating clay.

I use gypsum and lots of compost and mulch.
