Best Organic Chemistry books for Undergraduate and Postgraduate level

1.    Reaction Mechanism  in Organic Chemistry:


The book has been written by S.P.  Singh and Om Prakash. The book have incorporated  2 chapters on stereochemistry while the first chapter deals with the basic concepts of chirality and the second describes stereoheterotopic ligands and faces,  stereoselective and stereospecific reactions,  asymmetric synthesis, effect of conformation on reactivity  and finally conformational analysis of monosaccharides.

Chemistry of Reaction Intermediates has received special attention.  Neighbouring group participation of a lone pair,  a double bond and a phenyl group  along with the discussion of sigma bond participation  and non-classical cations  are dealt at length. Topics such as photochemistry of aromatic compounds, Cheletropic reactions, hydrogenation of unsaturated systems, ambident nucleophile,  Hammett equation  and Taft equation have been introduced  in appropriate chapters.  A large number of energy profile diagrams are sketched  in many chapters to illustrate different processes, and many synthetically important reactions and rearrangements have been added in chapters dealing with aromatic electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution. 

2.   Organic Reactions  And Their Mechanisms:


The book has been written by  P.S. Kalsi.  The book is designed to provide a comprehensive coverage in the area of organic reaction mechanism for a chemistry major/graduate student.  The book contains 17 chapters.

Key Features:

·          In writing this fourth edition of the book the major goal has been to integrate the informations about many fundamental organic reactions.
·          New reagents, new organic reactions and solved exercises have been added.
·          The study of reaction mechanism is an enormously broad subject. A full analysis of reaction mechanism requires a good knowledge about molecular structure, stereochemistry, and thermodynamics. These topics are, therefore, further developed by laying more emphasis in the fourth edition.

3.  MARCH’S ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
REACTIONS, MECHANISMS, AND STRUCTURE


The book has been written by Jerry March and Michael B. Smith. This book contains 19 chapters. Chapters 10-19, which make up Part 2, are directly concerned with organic reactions and their mechanisms. Chapters 1-9 may be thought of as an introduction to part 2. The first five chapters deal with the structure of organic compounds. These chapters discuss the kinds of bonding important in organic chemistry, the three- dimensional structure of organic molecules, and the structure of species in which the valence of carbon is less than 4. Chapters 6-9 are concerned with other topics that help to form background to Part 2: acids and bases, photochemistry, the relationship between structure and reactivity, and a general discussion of mechanisms and the means by which they are determined.

4.  ORGANIC CHEMISTRY:
      

The book has been written by Jonathan Clayden, Nick Greeves, and Stuart Warren. Inspiring and motivating its readers from the moment it was published, Organic Chemistry has established itself in just one edition as the students’s choice of organic chemistry text.

NEW TO THIS EDITION:

Ø  All chapters have been revised and refined to provide a more student-friendly, more logical, and more coherent presentation of the subject.

Ø  Coverage of those topics with particular practical relevance that have developed in the last ten years has been enhanced, including the presentation of metathesis, modern methods of asymmetric synthesis (including organocatalysis), and palladium-catalysed couplings.

Ø  A new chapter on regioselectivity has been introduced, providing (along with the chapter on chemoselectivity) a pause for thought and “revision session” in the middle of the book.

A solution manual to accompany the book, written by Jonathan Clayden, is also available.


5.              ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY:
PART A: Structure and Mechanisms.
PART B: Reactions and Synthesis.



  

PART A provides a close look at the structural concepts and mechanistic patterns that are fundamental to organic chemistry. It relates those mechanistic patterns, including relative reactivity and stereochemistry, to underlying structural factors. Understanding these concepts and relationships will allow students to recognize the cohesive patterns of reactivity in organic chemistry.

PART B examines the major reactions that ae applied in synthesis. It provides information on reagents, mechanism, and stereochemistry. The Schemes provide specific examples.


PART A & PART B together are intended to provide advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students in chemistry with a sufficient foundation to comprehend and use the research literatue in organic chemistry.
