Organic Chemistry 5th Edition

I was initially worried about organic as a whole after hearing how it is one of the hardest undergraduate courses in college. This was the required book by our professor. I have had this book for about 1.5 months now and I have to say my worries of organic are lessened greatly. This book isn't vague in its descriptions, explanations, or example problems at all. I am a chemical engineering student so I have had a few textbooks that were absolutely awful and were pretty much useless since the content can be extremely difficult at times. I would highly recommend buying the solutions manual with this book. It has detailed explanations of every single EOC problem...not just the odd numbered ones.

This book got me through the semester. Highly recommend getting for your Orgo class. Each chapter goes in depth with the material. Super easy to follow and understand. Book was in excellent condition, basically new.Cheers.

Practice problems really help and after following along with my professor every chapter I did not terrible on my first test. This ain't a bad book

I bought this book for my daughter. It is a must have for organic chemistry! It will be put to good use and help her to insure she’s doing the problems correctly.

It's helping me to get through Organic Chem

Very informative, I'm a chem major and I plan on not reselling this one

It is a great book and I really like the discount.

I am an Organic Chemistry TA and have used this book. This is definitely not a good book if you want to learn organic chemistry due to its overly simplistic treatment of the content and the mistakes in the book:1. Omission of discussing the Hoffman product in eliminations. Instead, the book suggests bulky bases give the Zaitsev product all the time.2. Mechanisms for alcohol activation with sulfonyl Cl's , POCl3 and SOCl2 are incorrect. The alcohol must attack the electrophillic center and break the pi bond before expulsion of the Cl. The book depicts it as a concerted step.3. Omission of several details - no Newman projections are discussed when introducing the Wittig reaction, FMO (frontier molecular orbital) Theory is for the most part, absent from the book.For more a comprehensive treatment of organic chemistry topics, I strongly recommend the David Klein text. The problems are at a higher level and the aforementioned topics are addressed thoroughly and correctly.
