Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry, 7th Edition

by John McMurry

Retaining the concise, to-the-point presentation that has already helped thousands of readers move beyond memorization to a true understanding of the beauty and logic of organic chemistry, this Seventh Edition of John McMurry's FUNDAMENTALS OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY brings in new, focused content that demonstrates how organic chemistry applies to everyday life. In addition, enhanced and redrawn chemical structures and artwork help readers visualize important chemical concepts, while a greater emphasis on biologically-related chemistry (including new problems) help readers grasp the enormous importance of organic chemistry in understanding the reactions that occur in living organisms. Lastly, for this edition, John McMurry reevaluated and revised his writing at the sentence level to ensure that the book's explanations, applications, and examples maximize reader understanding and are more clear, relevant, and motivating than ever before.

just want to say: OH MY GOD.. finally finished!
chemistry is a beautiful science and in this book we can learn more bout organic chemistry, a subset of chemistry
for example about several types of compounds and their reactions.
it will be efficient for those who are interested in chemistry

Excellent textbook for organic chemistry! It is written in a way that is easy to understand, yet explaining diverse and difficult material

[Alexa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Covering a typically confusing topic can be quite daunting. That being said, this textbook does a relatively decent job covering essential ochem material. I often found the explanations could be further simplified and the material presented in a less convoluted manner. The practice problems, though, were very well written, in my opinion, as they accurately tested the reader on the material covered in the section. Overall, a decent enough textbook in need of simplifying revisions.

Whatever, this was obviously for a class. The book was fine, just an Organic Chem textbook, so pretty much what you would expect from that. I am trying to not let my complete hatred of this professor influence my judgement of the book, so it is getting 3 stars.
