Curly Arrows
Curly Arrows are used in the representation of organic reaction mechanisms. The interactive “Curly Arrows” web site is intended to help you learn to use curly arrows, and to gain experience in drawing reaction mechanisms. You can practice using curly arrows in an interactive environment that provides feedback on your work. This makes the website an excellent revision tool for organic chemistry at all levels.
On the website you will find lots of sections, and they are relevant to different academic years. Once you have the application open in the “Tutorials” section, have a go at the topics listed below. Do not worry if you struggle, you can have as many attempts as you like and it’s completely anonymous!

About Dr Peter Kirsop
Greetings! This is the University of Edinburgh School of Chemistry's first website for undergraduate labs. It's intended to be a place where students can find help with technical problems in the lab, and there will be lots to help with revision. But not only that, we want you to gain experience in writing for the web which is why you, the undergraduate (and postgraduate) students are very welcome to join in. Lindsey Robinson, a PhD student explains why it's a great skill to have in her article "Why You Should Write For A Science Blog", so do take a look. We're gradually building up more articles and already have some by our undergraduates who took part in ILW 2013. If you want to get involved, just drop a line to either myself, or the Editor, Dr Allison Kirsop. Contact details are on the 'About KLabs and Staff Contacts' menu tab.
