Organic Chemistry: Animated Reaction Mechanisms

Synopsis

An interactive multimedia CD-ROM presenting 271 animated reaction mechanisms and 24 interactive electronic lectures designed for teaching organic chemistry. The reactions fall into three groups: 1) aromatics - electrophillic aromatic substitution reactions with o, p-directing and m-directing groups; 2) SN, E and alkenes - nucleophillic substitution reactions (1 and 2), elimination reactions (1 and 2) and alkene addition reactions; 3) carbonyl - C=O substitution, C=C addition, enamines and acetals (anomers, formation and hydrolysis). The 24 electronic lectures provide more than 800 screens of text, graphics and animations.
