Organic Chemistry

by T.W. Graham Solomons, Craig B. Fryhle, Scott A. Snyder

The 12th edition of Organic Chemistry continues Solomons/Fryhle/Snyder's tradition of excellence in teaching and preparing students for success in the organic classroom and beyond.

A central theme of the authors' approach to organic chemistry is to emphasize the relationship between structure and reactivity. To accomplish this, the content is organized in a way that combines the most useful features of a functional group approach with one largely based on reaction mechanisms. The authors' philosophy is to emphasize mechanisms and their common aspects as often as possible, and at the same time, use the unifying features of functional groups as the basis for most chapters. The structural aspects of the authors' approach show students what organic chemistry is. Mechanistic aspects of their approach show students how it works. And wherever an opportunity arises, the authors' show students what it does in living systems and the physical world around us.

Riddled with errors that actually teach the wrong material, but if you are made aware of these and avoid them then the book is fine.

Clear descriptions and mechanisms (multi-coloured) help with studying.
Recommended over my other Organic textbook (which sucks big ones).

AVE CHYMIA ORGANICAE

[Mukil Shanmugam · Rating 4 out of 5]

This textbook was an amazing follow up read to a honors chemistry textbook such as Chemistry by Stephen Zumdahl. With that context in mind, I really loved reading this textbook and thoroughly exploring the complex subject of organic chemistry. The book covers everything from the basics of organic chemistry to the most complicated, intricate topics such as the biological applications of such organic chemistry. The book includes diagrams, charts, tables, is arranged in an aesthetically pleasing way, and the writing style is fluid and relatively to read. Being easy to read was a huge plus for this textbook; being interested in the material is not easy if it is a struggle to read the text. Having said this, the only complaint I have with this textbook is that it does require quite a lot of previous knowledge. This makes sense, as the subject is an advanced level of chemistry, but it does make this book not suitable for most people.

Im good at Chem, but I just hate it so much, I didn't work at my ap chemistry course for a whole semester and bought this book to study a week before the test and I got an awesome grade, it focuses more on different types of reactions and it's not that dense.

A good 'un, but the examples given in the text and accompanying study guide were too simple.
