Course Documentation:

Things you may find useful:

• The companion website for the textbook; you'll find animations & more here.

• Spectroscopy Tutorial - awesome site from the University of Alberta Dept. of Chem. They've got more good stuff in the handbook!

• WebSpectra - problems in NMR and IR spectroscopy from UCLA Dept. of Chem.

• Organic Structure Elucidation - a workbook of unknowns from Prof. Bradley Smith at Notre Dame's Dept. of Chem. This amazing site has IR, NMR and mass spec data, but no answers on the website.

• Common Impurities in NMR Solvents - an excellent reference (J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 7512-7515) this will only work from an Ohiolink campus

• Integrated Spectral Data Base System for Organic Compounds - search for NMR & IR spectra

• How geeky can you get? Try this spectroscopy game on for size! Enter your real name and "Kenyon" as the group, and whoever has the highest score by the last day of classes gets a $5 gift certificate to Middle Ground.

• Kenyon College's Math and Science Skills Center - go, study, rock the class like a piece of granite.

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!

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

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!
