What's up, I was wondering does anyone have any good organic chemistry resources/ tips. I found a few websites that help me out a lot. I put the website with a brief description of it. If you know of any sites that could help feel free to post it, it will be a great help thanks :)

http://www.fccj.us/chm2210/2210pptmenu.html - power points of every chapter in John McMurry’s text book

http://www.chemhelper.com/introtest.html - Practice!! This site allows you to take practice test. On the left hand side of the site there is a navigation option that allows you to watch tutorials and learn mechanisms

http://www.ochem.com/ - Cool website for practice. The site has flashcards, practice exams, lessons, videos and tutorials. The website goes by an old text book by burice. Although the site overall seems pretty old, it is still amazing.

http://www.cliffsnotes.com/study_guide/Organic-Chemistry-I.topicArticleId-22667.html - cool website for reading text, but gets boring after a while.

http://studystove.com/organic-chemistry-practice-problems?tid%5B%5D=40  - cool site to practice.

This site is excellent for nomenclature

www.organic-chemistry.org - Named reactions, synthesis search and protecting group compatibility tables.

www.chemicalize.org - Name to structure (or structure to name) and various calculated properties.

www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iupac/ - IUPAC nomenclature

http://chemsearch.kovsky.net/ - Chemistry reference resolver: type journal, year and first page for instant redirection to the article - I love this site.

http://www.chem.wisc.edu/areas/reich/pkatable/ - pKa table (DMSO)
http://research.chem.psu.edu/brpgroup/pKa_compilation.pdf - pKa table (water)
http://evans.harvard.edu/pdf/evans_pka_table.pdf - another pKa table
My research: Google Scholar and Researchgate

I often use ChemSpider: http://www.chemspider.com a structural database from the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Also a synthesis database http://synarchive.com.

Thanks! ChemSpider seems lovely. I didn't know it.

Synarchive seems nice too; but didn't have any of the molecules I need.  :(

Some of the links include the following:

Acid-Base Worksheet Supplement
Al’s Notebook of Commonly Used Experimental Procedures
Amide Bond Synthesis (Nature)
Amino Acids Guide
Challenging Problems in Organic Chemistry (David Evans, Harvard)
ChemPen Chemical Structure Drawing Software
ChemTube3D (University of Liverpool)
Classic Organic Reactions

EasyOChem - http://www.easyochem.com

EasyOChem is a free site for students studying Organic Chemistry.  We provide online interactive immersive couses and web apps to make OChem easy.  Some of our apps inlcude

1) MechXPlorer - Student provides curved arrows for a variety of mechanisms.
2) EasyOLewis - Students provides charges or lone pairs to given structures.
3) EasyOAcidBase-Students determine if acidbase reaction proceeds forward or backward.  Good practice for pKa's.
3) Structure to name - Students are given a random structure and must provide a name.
4) Name to Structure - Students are given a random name and must provide a structure.
5) EasyORS - Students determine RS configuration for randomly generated chiral molecules.
6) EasyOEZ - Students determine EZ configuration for randomly generated alkenes.

Let me know what you think or the site.

It is pretty incredible really, we have all of this available to us at the touch of a button.

This is a good resource for free chemical drawing / NMR processing software

I recently started a YouTube channel at www.YouTube.com/chemsurvival

It contains short, narrated videos of animations from my classes.  I hope they are useful!

I should also mention the good people at www.vespr.org who are testing their concept out on general chemistry but are working on an organic chemistry beta for release soon!

Alison Frontier at Rochester has a great site giving practical advice for working in organic research labs:

http://chem.chem.rochester.edu/~nvd/

The site itself is a little basic, but the content is outstanding.

Here is another site from Rochester, needing a little Mojo.
http://chem.chem.rochester.edu/nvdcgi/mojo.cgi

It has some very good features study it well.
