ChemDB
http://cdb.ics.uci.edu/cgibin/tutorial/ReactionTutorialSetupWeb.psp
UC Irvine:
Reaction Explorer: Organic Chemistry Tutorials
Interactive system for learning and practicing reactions, syntheses and mechanisms in organic chemistry, with advanced support for the automatic generation of random problems, curved-arrow mechanism diagrams, and inquiry-based learning.

Reaction Drills: Single-Step Reaction Completion
Produce a series of (ungraded) reaction equations with one hidden component (reactant, reagent or product) and asks you to mentally "fill-in-the-blank" to test and train your skill, similar to flashcards.

Synthesis Explorer: Multi-Step Synthesis Design
Solve multi-step synthesis design problems and for freely exploring different reactant and reagent combinations.

Mechanism Explorer: Arrow-Pushing Mechanism Diagrams
Curved-arrow mechanism diagram viewing and exploration to not only show "what" a reaction will produce, but to also explain "how" the reaction will proceed.

User Records: Problem Completion Records
Review your past problem completion record and check your progress towards completing any class requirements here.
