Review

What strikes the reader straight away is the way the text is laid out so that it is visually exciting. ...I could go on, so let me end by congratulating the authors and publishers in producing what I am sure will become the standard text in organic chemistry. Perhaps I should just summarise how I felt about the book when I came to put it down: refreshing, exciting and motivational. Tony Barrett, Imperial College London

"The authors should be congratulated for compiling a book that should prove very popular with our students...the text is very comprehensive and covers key areas in a very attractive and user friendly way. Thank you to OUP for publishing the book at a really good price". Dr Don Green, University of North London.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best organic chemistry teaching aid written I've seen, 27 Oct 2004

By	filthmonkey (UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Listen. And listen hard. There are many organic chemistry textbooks aimed at undergraduates. Many of them entitled "Organic Chemistry". The thing is, though, that of all of them this is the best one if you're going to be an organic chemist by trade. It is written with the student in mind. It is written so that the person that knows nothing, can come out with understanding something. It is also written for the expert as a refresher text. It is simply THE BEST organic chemistry textbook that I've come across. It is worth the money no matter how far along the organic chemistry learning spectrum you are, unless you're Corey. Then I think you probably don't need it. The book itself is split up into over more than 50 chapters, each of them tackling a different aspect of organic chemistry. I did my undergrad at Bristol and found that no other text matches the organic requirements of my course better than this book. You cannot fail but learn from it. It is written in an easy to digest style, thereby outstripping its outdated competition. Forget Vollhardt and McMurry. If you're an undergrad this is the book for you. It is NOT faultless, though. There are some things in it that are over simplified, as there are in ALL textbooks. For example, the mechanisms of catalytic cycles are not accurate. But then again, they are not accurate in any of the teaching texts available. Things like that only become important if you get involved in in-depth research. Otherwise, this book is almost perfect. There are 2 things to bear in mind. Firstly, the reactions within aren't referenced, which becomes annoying for the advanced undergrad/postgrad student, and secondly, the book selectively criticises/applauds the reactions it sees fit without justifiably judging it according to, say, yield and selectivity (for instance, reactions of interest may be cited as interesting but not have a note next to them saying that they go in pathetic yield). However, this is not a text that has any decent competition hitherto, as a teaching aid. Get it. It will be indispensible. If you can afford to, get the Problems & Answers book as well. It will be of great help. I should say that the book's co-author is Stuart Warren, a man reputedly pedantic about the accuracy of reaction mechanisms. Thereby, you should expect accuracy for most of what you find within the pages of the book. However, I think some people would have an issue with this in regards to the catalytic cycles. But that aside, this book is essential if you're an undergrad, be you in your 1st or 4th year. GET THIS BOOK. Don't be fooled by imitations. There is nothing that competes with this. This book is a MUST for the trainee organic chemist.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best undergraduate organic chemistry book ever written, 28 Aug 2006

By	R. Giles (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book manages to present the fundamentals of organic chemistry in such an engaging and clear manner that it is an absolute joy to use.

The questions reinforce the material wonderfully and provide a steady learning curve, first building confidence and then stretching the student.

The companion solutions text is definately also worth considering if you are using this book as a tutorial.

All in all, one of the best books you will come across as a student of chemistry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic. An undergraduate's dream book., 22 Jun 2001

By A Customer

The authors have taken the job of detailed explanation very seriously and so annotations are abundant throughout the book to ensure the reader is never far from help on a topic. Unlike other textbooks Organic Chemistry does not shy away from producing a plausible mechanism for virtually every reaction and is thus a very comprehensive text. Ordered usefully into subject chapters with interelating footnotes the book encourages a holistic approach for which this reader was very grateful. I suspect that this is the first text which has successfully combined the mechanistic accuracy of Sykes' masterpiece (a guidebook to mechanism in organic chemistry) with the descriptive pleasures of Kemp&Vellacio's work. Organic Chemistry is a strong rival to March's book by the same title.
