I have surfed the Web, and found a lot of material for organic chemistry students. The Study Aids take you directly to sites where you can review and practice topics in organic chemistry, by text-only lectures, slide shows, or multimedia presentations. If you don't find enough in this first section, follow the Webster and Chem Goodies links (likely there is something here of great value which I missed). And please, email me with any great links you find! (Patty)

Terms used in organic chemistry. (Brunel University)
Nomenclature. (Advanced Chemistry Development Labs)
Introduction to basic organic nomenclature. (Okanagan University College)
(Also see the University of Wisconson-Madison site, linked to below.)
Tim at UCLA has problem sets and also some movies. Worth looking at and checking back to see what else he is up to.
As of 1/04, the best place to start is probably the "Explorations" link from the MSP link (above). From there, probably the most pertinent link for organic chemistry students is the one to "Organic Reaction Mechanisms". Included are animations of SN2 and bromination mechanisms, as well as bond conformations and bond summaries (see the 'list of animations'). I particularly like the Methane Halogenation Animation.
Tutorials in spectroscopy, structure and bonding, stereochemistry, functional group reactions. (University of Illinois)
Click on the top link, "Organic Chemistry Info," in the left frame. This takes you to a menu which covers summaries of different chemical reactions and arrow-pushing, chemical data (pKa table, physical constants, etc.), nomenclature, miscellaneous information on organic compounds, spectroscopy.
Only hydroboration so far. (Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London)
Some downloadable software, safety discussion, links to additional education resources. (On the Knowledge by Design site.)
Jones and Bartlett, book Invitation to Organic Chemistry by William Johnson. Mechanism movies, online quiz. The Web Explorations section is very good, takes you to real world application of different topics. Fun, interesting.
Visual Aids for Organic Chemistry (orbitals, cycloalkanes, stereochemistry, carbocation rearrangements, SN1 vs SN2, electophilic aromatic substitution, aldehydes and ketones, amines). (Shockwave) (Colby College)
Michigan State University has good support for Organic Chemistry courses:
Slide show tutorials covering many topics in organic chemistry 1 and 2. (University of Akron)
The Edison Project at Columbia University. Some lab modules, a demo of IR Tutor. May be more to come, so check back.
By Dr. Hornak, Professor of Chemistry and Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology where he teaches courses in magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and analytical chemistry.
By Scott Von Bramer, a former TA in Organic Chemistry at CU Boulder. Interpreted NMR spectra of several compounds, and spectra of many more.
UCLA. Practice problems in interpretation of NMR and IR spectra. Includes instructional documents on solving spectral problems, overview of NMR spectroscopy, and tables.
Six second year lectures given at Imperial College by Henry Rzepa.
Course information and materials covering the various spectroscopic techniques used by the organic chemist from: Prof. William Jenks, Iowa State University. Has links to links.
This site is mentioned above in the lecture study aids section, but it has such an excellent section on spectroscopy that it is mentioned again here.
Good IR tutorial (Jones and Bartlett publishers site).
This site has the IRs for a lot of compounds.
Great links.
Practice Problems, 64 of 'em! (Notre Dame). This is an excellent workbook. But, the answers are not online. But: you can come to me and ask me in person for the answers, since the web author sent me a copy.
Practice Problems in IR and NMR spectroscopy, tutorials, links to other sites.
IR Interpretation tutorial: great! (Mass spect. tutorial too)
NMR/IR problems tutorial. Recommended. Links to spectroscopy information.
Searching for the NMR spectra of a compound.
Go to the Chemistry Info section, then to Spectroscopy.
Links - good ones.
Links to more study aids, and this is a great place, it goes on forever.
From an org chem prof -- EXCELLENT LINKS!!!! Fun too.
Some very good links to chemistry topics.
Good links.
An annotated collection of links for chemists, including many both for students and for research organic chemists.
From the University of Virginia, Environmental Health and Safety.
Scientific and chemical tables.
