Informational

Chemistry

There is a lot of great information like NMR shifts and physical constants related to Organic Chemistry on this site by Prof. Hans Reich at the UW Madison

Information about heterocycles: pKas, synthesis, bond lengths and angles, more synthesis, and yet more synthesis and top drugs containing heterocycles from Prof. Phil Baran’s group. On the same site is Patrick Lam’s electrostatic potential maps

Synthesis Tools

Chemistry by Design – Professor Jon T. Njardarson , Univ. of Arizona

Crystallography
