Things you may find useful:

Problem Solving Websites

• Dave Evans' Problem Website - the gold standard! If you need help using it, just ask me, but this thing is full of great problems. And when you're ready to check your work, it will send you an email with the answers!

Podcasts, Animations

• Quicktime movies with audio narration of concepts like resonance structures, nucleophilic acyl substitution, carbocation rearrangements & more.

• Also on the page linked to above are Shockwave tutorials about stereochemistry, NMR, Michael reaction etc.

• More Shockwave tutorials about conformations, reaction mechanisms, proteins, polymers, bioorganic mechanism and more. Scroll down for the most organic relevent material.

Organic Nomenclature Practice Site

• Basic UIPAC Organic Nomenclature - from the University of Calgary (h/t Tim O'Neal, BCHM '07)

Info about specific chemicals

• Sigma-Aldrich Website - MW, density, mp, bp, etc. Also, try using "substructure search" tool.

• Material Safety Data Sheets - from University of Akron

• Mayfield Handbook of Technical and Scientific Writing - specifically I link to the abreviations section, but the whole damn thing is good

Named Reaction Resources

• Named Reaction List #1 - the essentials from Monomer Chem

• Named Reaction List #2 - from Organic-Chemistry.com; includes mechanisms & leading references!

• Named Reaction Screen Saver - 420 named reactions formatted for a slideshow! By Nathan T Reynolds from the website of accomplished CSU-Fort Collins Prof. Tomislav Rovis.

• My research website - who knows, it could have useful info!
