Chem3D in Organic Chemistry Teaching [Abstract] combined the conformation of teaching, teaching stereochemistry and reaction mechanism of teaching, a brief introduction to some of the features of the Chem3D software and multimedia in the teaching of organic chemistry. [Keywords:] Chem3D, organic chemistry, teaching Chem3D is a software company in Cambridge, UK (CambridgeSoft Corporation Chemical written Chemoffice an integral part of office software, and its friendly interface, easy operation, you can display three-dimensional molecular structures, bond lengths, bond angles, molecular orbital shape, and also has a simple quantum chemical calculations, the energy can be organic molecules, charge distribution, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic properties, the calculation of reaction dynamics and simulation. As a professional chemical graphics software, Chem3D for chemistry educators [1], especially in the teaching of organic chemistry teachers bring a lot of convenience. Following is a brief paper in organic chemistry [2-3] using Chem3D software, the process of teaching practice and experience. 1 conformation Teaching Conformation of cyclohexane is a difficult teaching in organic chemistry in the traditional teaching process always takes a lot of time, but the education effect is not satisfactory. Using Chem3D can simply put the image of the two classic cyclohexane chair conformation and the boat [Figure 1 (a), (b)] revealed itself, and for teaching a lot of convenience. In teaching, you can advance in the production of the PPT insert a hyperlink, then you can easily make good the graphics files have been opened. As shown in Figure 1 (e) below, and click the left mouse button, you can make the model arbitrary rotation, students from a different point of view of molecular model, which can clearly identify the e key and a key location and their characteristics. You can also use the mouse to select any of the two hydrogen atoms, the soft
