The o-chem wiki experiment. For students, by students. Have any tips to pass on to fellow students? Found an efficient way to work NMR problems or how to think about aldol reactions? Got any tips for students on how to study effectively? Post them here on the wiki. Remember, like all wikis anything you add becomes public domain (that is, you give up your intellectual property rights on any material you post). Note: since this has just started, little content has been added (you can be the first to make a contribution!)

Organic chemistry glossary. Definitions for common organic chemical terms.

    Stereochemistry:

• Why should I care about stereochemistry? Biological importance
• How do you separate enantiomers, anyway?
• Is it possible for a molecule to be chiral without stereocenters?
  (Yes, and here's some examples)
