Prof. Hanson's Organic Chemistry Study Questions
Combined Chemical Dictionary (look up physical data on cmpds)
Useful Spectroscopy Handouts
- IR Correlation Chart
- IR Tidbits Chart (overtones & out-of-plane bending patterns)
- MS Br & Cl Pattern Chart
- NMR Shift Chart
Recommended Links to Organic Chemistry Topics
- Nomenclature & Isomerism
- IUPAC Nomenclature
- Definitions of stereochemical terms (including terms applying to reactions)
- Miscellaneous
- Organic Chemistry Info - an excellent compilation of useful and often hard to find data.
- Sites to find other Organic Chemistry Sites
- Organic Chemistry Resources Worldwide
- Organic Chemistry Help eMediately
- Virtual Textbook of Organic Chemistry
- Spectroscopy
- WebSpectra (from UCLA) - very good problems in IR and NMR, but not for beginners!
- Organic Structure Elucidation Workbook (from Notre Dame) - more good problems with lots of data provided, so they are more straightforward than the UCLA site.
- Professor McDougal's Organic Spectroscopy Online (at Boise State University). This is probably the best place for additional practice problems, because they are set up in levels of increasing difficulty. The various problem sets download as PowerPoint files which print at very high resolution. Solutions can also be downloaded, as can tutorials and quizzes. Chemistry 120 students: I recommend the following problems for practice after you have mastered the problems in the book and in the packet I provide in class. Data Set #1: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10. Data Set #2: 6, 7, 11. Data Set #4: 4, 6, 7. Data Set #5: 3, 7. These are comparable to the types of problems you will see in class and on exams.
- The Science of Spectroscopy - lots of info and links to other sites on the topic.
