Welcome to a brave new school year. To celebrate I'll share with you something shiny and new I've stumbled across.
It's called Synthesis Explorer and I've put a link to it in the resources side bar of the blog. It's a 'dynamic web tool to study key organic chemistry reactions'.
You can basically choose from a wide variety of starting compounds and react them to reveal details of the reaction conditions and reagents, creating your own synthetic pathways on an 'interactive canvas'. It will help you to develop your understanding of organic reaction pathways and allow you to revise organic chemistry in 'an interactive and dynamic format'.
Well that's what the blurb says anyway. It is actually quite impressive. You can also view a wide range of physical, structural and spectral data for each compound.
