1. Organic Chemistry (5th Edition) by Leroy G. Wade,
Hardcover: 1296 pages, Prentice Hall
This a highly accessible fashion, this top-selling book
bridges the gap between conceptual understanding and
actual application, while strongly emphasizing the
development of problem-solving skills. The book focuses
on traditional organic chemistry topics and offers
up-to-date aspects of spectroscopy, relevant
photographs, and many applications to polymer chemistry
integrated throughout the book.
2. Organic Chemistry, Fourth Edition : Structure and
Function by K. Peter C. Vollhardt, Neil E. Schore,
Hardcover: 1203 pages, Publisher: W. H. Freeman
A very well-written text, Vollhardt covers basic
functional groups in organic chemistry and even
difunctional compounds, carbohydrates, polycyclic
benzenoid and heterocycles. With very plain language and
explicit illustrations, each chapter provides a summary
of new reactions and plenty of exercises. This book is
suitable for especially students studying biological
sciences who need an overview in organic chemistry.
Includes chapter integration problems, team problems,
and preprofessional problems similar to the MCAT, GRE,
and DAT.
3. Organic Chemistry (with Organic ChemistryNow) by
Joseph M. Hornback, Hardcover: 1328 pages, Publisher:
Brooks Cole
A mechanistic-oriented book written at a level that
organic chemistry students will understand!
Specifically, the focus on mechanisms is a unifying
theme, rather then just an organizing principle.
Organizationally mainstream, it is unique in bringing in
mechanisms as a unifying principle, and reactions are
organized by mechanism type not by functional groups.
And now, text/media integration has never been so
seamless with the introduction of Organic ChemistryNow.4.
Introduction to Organic Laboratory Techniques : A
Small-Scale Approach (Brooks/Cole Laboratory Series for
Organic Chemistry) by Donald L. Pavia, Gary M. Lampman,
George S. Kriz, Randall G. Engel, Hardcover: 1056 pages
Featuring 66 experiments, detailling 29 techniques, and
including several explicating essays, this is a
laboratory textbook for students of organic chemistry,
where experiments are designed to utilize standard-scale
("macroscale") glassware and equipment but with smaller
amounts of chemicals and reagents. The textbook features
a large number of traditional organic reactions and
syntheses, as well as the isolation of natural products
and experiments with a biological or health science
focus. The organization of the text is based on essays
and topics of current interest. There are six
introductory technique-based experiments and eleven
project-based experiments. In addition, there is a
section of green chemistry experiments. The book
contains a comprehensive treatment of laboratory
techniques, including small-scale and some microscale
methods.
5. Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry by John E.
McMurry, Hardcover: 664 pages, Brooks Cole
This book is written for a short course, where content
must be thorough, but to-the-point. It provides an
effective, clear, and readable introduction to the
beauty and logic of organic chemistry. McMurry presents
only those subjects needed for a brief course while
maintaining the important pedagogical tools commonly
found in larger books. With clear explanations,
thought-provoking examples, and an innovative vertical
format for explaining reaction mechanisms, it takes a
modern approach: primary organization is by functional
group, beginning with the simple (alkanes) and
progressing to the more complex. Within the primary
organization, there is also an emphasis on explaining
the fundamental mechanistic similarities of reactions.
Through this approach, memorization is minimized and
understanding is maximized. This new edition represents
a major revision. The text has been revised at the
sentence level to further improve clarity and
readability; many new examples and topics of biological
relevance have been added; and many new features have
been introduced.
