Reaction Driller 1.5
Educational organic chemistry software
************************************************************
Innovative Software Solutions is currently selling its new
Macintosh program for organic chemistry students. Reaction Driller 1.5 is
a new Macintosh application which tests and reviews over 200 organic
chemistry reactions typically covered in the first year of a college-level
organic course. The software was designed with students in mind and is
graphically driven for easy use, manipulation and learning. For each
particular reaction there is a detailed drawing of the starting compound
and the reagents used. At the touch of a button the you can display the
product of the reaction, or a short, but detailed text description. For
reactions of mechanistic importance, a color reaction mechanism is also
available.
Reaction Driller allows you to maintain total control over what
you want to review. You can choose to review reactions from 14 sections,
and you can easily navigate from section to section by making a menu
selection. Within any section, you'll be able to search for and find any
particular reaction. It's great as a course supplement while initially
learning reactions, a reviewing tool for use right before exams, or as a
method of revitalizing long forgotten knowledge. This software is easy to
use and very effective. It has already been introduced into the teaching
curriculums of several universities, where both students and professors
found it to be novel, highly effective, and very reasonable in cost. Many
Ph.D.'s and graduate students have also found this software valuable in
reviewing organic fundamentals.
The sections in Reaction Driller 1.5 are:
Alkenes
Alkynes
Alkyl Halides
Aromatic Compounds
{*filter*}s and related compounds
Ethers and related compounds
Amines and related compounds
Aldehydes, Ketones and Nitriles
Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives
Condensations and alpha-Substitutions
Biochemistry I: Carbohydrates
Biochemistry II: Lipids
Biochemistry III: Proteins

Reaction Driller is not yet available in stores (and probably will not be
for several months), however you can obtain it directly from the developer
for $30. To order, please send a check or money order to Innovative
Software Solutions and we will ship you your purchase immediately (sorry,
