WinTorg

WinTorg is a software that helps you to understand how to identify organic compounds using spectroscopy.

This program simulates the process of identifying an organic unknown and is designed for university and college students beginning their study of organic chemistry and especially spectroscopy. It is possible to use the program as a source of spectroscopic unknowns. Alternatively it can simulate the combination of spectroscopy and traditional qualitative organic analysis. (Note: this second choice may have been restricted by your instructor.)

Typically you can explore how to identify an unknown using any combination of spectroscopy and “wet tests” (qualitative organic analysis). You will able to discover the interrelationships between spectral data, other physical measurements, chemical tests and reactions, and the structures of organic compounds.

This will enable you to develop and refine a strategy for identifying an organic unknown in a situation free from the additional uncertainties of performing unfamiliar laboratory work and then relying on the results. Once a logical approach has been developed, identification of an unknown can be undertaken by interpreting spectra and in the laboratory with more confidence and efficiency.
