Doc
Brown's Chemical Clinic
(http://www.docbrown.info/)
A UK-based general help
and revision site for 14-19 year-old chemistry students.
The site includes plenty of notes, tests, graphics and
downloads. The layout is a bit on the old-fashioned
side with rather too many different font colors, but
it makes a nice change from offerings for the US educational
system, and provides useful information for UK students
as well as a different perspective for others.

Fancy yourself as a whiz
at retrosynthetic analysis, a dab hand with bond formation,
or working-up a green reaction scheme? Then, get yourself
along to Innocentive where pharma company Eli Lilly
are offering financial incentives for registered users
of the site to come up with viable methods to synthesizing
a whole range of organic molecules the company has reached
a dead-end with. The likes of D-glucopyranose could
earn you $40,000, while the simple-seeming FMOC-D-2-ME-TRP
will get you $75,000. Could be a nice little earner.
