That a pretty good book, and it certainly will teach you to avoid a lot of the common, silly errors that you see in mechanisms.  It teaches how to think in terms of mechanisms.

That said, I think it can be a little heavy-handed and absolute on some things where it isn't totally warranted.

Thanks movies I haven't gotten it yet but I ordered it a couple of days ago.  I can't wait though.  Lots to learn.

That reminds me.  This book by Kurti and Czako (two grad students, believe it or not) is probably the best name reactions book out there.  It's chock full of references (both the orginals and subsequent applications) and lots of examples and complete mechanisms.  Really a fantastic resource.

G. Marc Loudon's "Organic Chemistry" is a great book too

Kitson, Trevor M. 'Organic chemistry: A guide to common themes'
is a good organic chemistry book to all of you!

It gives brief information about carbocation, carboanion and free radical. Also various examples of electrophilic and nucleophilic attack are listed. It is an easily understandable book and suitable for all high school / university student!

I used G.A.Taylors book: Organic Chemistry for students of biology and medicine. Good enough for my needs way back when I was a student....

All the books are useful, but they also cost a lot. where is the free text on line?
