Interactive tools to help students learn aspects of conformation and stereochemistry in organic chemistry
The webpage for working out cyclohexane conformations is https://stuartlw.github.io/Stereochem-Conformation/Ring/
The webpage for R/S Cahn Ingold Prelog Rules and Newman projectiosn is https://stuartlw.github.io/Stereochem-Conformation/Stereochemistry/
These tools are aimed to help students work interactively to help their understanding of Cahn-Ingold-Prelog definitions of R and S configurations and also to translate Newman projections to skeltal type drawings. The second tool lets students transfer between 2D representations of cyclohexane rings and chair conformational represntations and suggest which is lower in energy
The pages were developed by Nimesh Mistry and Jamie Ridley.
