Which subjects are treated?

3D
conformations
Our goal is to develop web based supplementary material for courses in Organic Chemistry. In particular 3D structures and animations are used to support the reasoning in the textbook.
Whereever applicable, 3D structures will be generated for manipulation on the screen. If it concerns conformational changes, an energy plot will accompany the structures. If the textbook claims that the anti conformation is more stable than the gauche, the student can verify this statement, and check it for other conformations not mentioned!
Reactions

The computational package MOPAC is used to simulate reactions as well. Will compound X undergo elimination more easily than compound Y? Try it!

Starting from the conformations of ethane, we will work our way through the textbook. Please consult the overview on the tutorials page.
