- The Vermont SIRI MSDS collection
- Spectral Database System (SDBS)
- NIST Webbook - online spectra and thermochemical data
- The Organic Reaction Roadmap - This should serve as an overview of most reactions covered in first semester organic chemistry. It is arranged as a map of functional group interconversions to give you some perspective on which interconversions are possible. Individual reactions can be clicked to get more detailed information about regioselectivity, stereoselectivity, and mechanism.
