Extra Credit:
- In this forum,
you are invited to offer a bit of advice for Organic Chemistry Students who may
be taking this course in the future.
- You may make, at the most, one entry for each experiment.
- Do not duplicate advice already given. However, you make extend a previous
entry in a significant way.
- You will receive at the most 1 point extra credit for each entry. You may
earn up to 10 points lab extra credit in one semester.
- If you make an anonymous post and wish to receive extra credit points, please
send the instructor an email to that effect.

Chemical Information Links:
Chemfinder - A quick and easy way to look up useful information on chemical compounds by name. You may have to register for the service at some point if you are a consistent user. Its free.
Aldrich Catalog online - useful information on a wide variety of commercial compounds. They also have safety information if you can understand their numbering/coding system. You may have to register if you want access to some information such as MSDS forms.
