I wish i have enough time to read them all!

oh,why cann't I dowload  these accessories?

I'm using Bruice's Organic, 5th Edition.

It's a nice book with really good sample problems and 3D renders of molecules.  The only two downsides I'd have to add is some errors in the print (not typographical) and the solutions to many problems, including the end of chapter problems, are completely left out.  You must purchase the solutions manual at a local bookstore to get the answers, which I don't mind because it's nice to have a big nice manual with ALL the answers, but it's a bad way to make extra money off of you.

The classic one is "Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds" by Silverstein and Webster.  It's great for NMR, but I haven't used it much for IR.  It goes into a lot of detail on how to look at NMRs and talks about some of the higher level experiments (e.g. 2D NMR) and what they can tell you.

Another good one is "Structure Determination of Organic Compounds" by Pretsh, Buhlmann, and Affolter.  It doesn't have much theory of spectroscopy, but it has tons of reference data, such as where you would expect the ¹³C signals of an aromatic ring with a CF₃ substituent (i.e., trifluorotoluene) and what all the J_C-F coupling constants are.

Most sophomore organic textbooks will have a chapter on spectroscopy as well, but they don't usually go in to a much depth.

Well, could you share it with me ?  Thanks

all of this books are so good!

Nobody has mentioned Fleming's Frontier Orbitals and Organic Chemistry, the little black bible when it comes to understanding organic mechanisms.

translation: these books are not bad, but they are expensive. I can't afford them. Moreover, there are so many online textbooks on organic chemistry. Would even anyone take the time to seriously read through every page in a textbook?

:ohappy and amasing to see chinese here.hello,Mr liu,nice to meet you here in a english forum.
i suppose we can buy just one of the classic books and read it throughly.Then,if you like ,you can read the ebooks as a kind of supplyment.

good books, I want some books about spectrometry(special NMR), who know please help me

[maurice]

I have a book named<Pharmaceutical_Substances>,how about this book?

Undergrad we used Ege OC text

Grad:
Adv. OC Part B 4th Ed. Carey/Sunberg
OSD by Silverstein
Use Ege, March, and Carey Part I as refs

If I had to learn the concepts from March, I would have quit on OC

A really good book to build up a background understanding of organic chemical processes is Modern Physical Organic Chemistry by Eric V. Anslyn and Dennis A. Dougherty. http://www.uscibooks.com/anslyn.htm Well worth the effort. The style is clear and explainations are detailed but not excessively so. It covers a lot of the same ground as the Carey and Sunberg books but has replaced their books recently in our Physical Organic Chemistry classes.

I agree.  Excellent book that ought to be the new gold standard for phys. org.

Thankfully the rest of the world might be saved from slogging through Carey & Sundberg!

ya i hear there are some mistakes in the solutions manual but from my skim the solutions look good and explained well in the Organic Chemistry 4th Ed  by  Bruice text

I have the 5th edition and there are quite a few mistakes in the text as well.

I get it online

[english]

I'm getting this really awesome book called The Art of Writing Reasonable Organic Reaction Mechanisms, 2nd edition.

I'm just getting it because I want it for my own reading, but I read in other places that graduate students appear to use it for reviewing for their literature exams.



It teaches you to write mechanisms for the sake of them making chemical sense, not blindly memorizing them, which a lot of people tend to do.
