Organic Chem Books
« on: June 04, 2012, 05:01:55 PM »
Organic chemistry is not my strong point, and I am not a fan of the McMurray textbook that my school uses. Are there any other good general organic chemistry textbooks with helpful examples and good explanations?

Clayden is the best organic chemistry book I have ever read.

Bruice is a very good introductory text, but I find Clayden more informative.

This. This. This.

Clayden/Greeves/etcEtc is the best organic book around and imo, just one of the best made textbooks period.
