Guys I am thinking of splashing out for solomons organic chemistry, 11th edition.

Are there any better options out their for an undergrad?

For a short survey of undergraduate organic chemistry topics(covered in a 2 semester organic chemistry course), I highly recommend "Organic Chemistry as a Second Language". It's not super in depth, but offers extremely good explanations and diagrams of most reactions.

For the Undergrad, novice, first timer, do any of these books have anything on Sufactants and phosphate builders?
Thanks, Tom

+1.  Best book IMO for understanding mechanisms.  From the beginning topics through the more complex problems.

What we use in my Polytech is McMurry's Introduction to Organic Chemistry. Seems decent to me, starts from the very basics.

Anyone else have experience with it?
this is a page who contains a great ebooks in organic chemistry and others i hope that it  helping you https://www.facebook.com/freebookssharing/

Guys could you suggest some advanced orgchem book? Something like Carey and Sundberg? It looks like the I would like but from looking inside the book at amazon page, I find that the non-unified drawing of structures and the fact that sometimes they are not "cleaned up" disturbing. It was suggested to me but Im not sure if I want to spend money on something that is not properly edited.

Is there any textbook about abiotic synthesis of organic molecules? I would like to read about asymmetric induction hypotheses, possible pathways for carbohydrate and aminoacid synthesis etc.

Recommended Books for Organic Synthesis
« Reply #265 on: April 25, 2016, 03:23:31 AM »
This is a collection of the remarkable books in organic chemistry synthesis.

1, Asymmetric Synthesis - The Essentials, by Mathias Christmann, Stefan Bräse, with ISBN: 978-3-527-32093-6, published by Wiley-VCH

This book doesn’t present the basics of asymmetric synthesis, but lists the topics and the works of the researchers who have made significant advancements in this field. For every researcher and their work, there is a background presented, and then the detail description of their successful work is included.

2, Domino Reactions in Organic Synthesis, by Lutz F. Tietze, Gordon Brasche, Kersten Gericke, with ISBN: 3-527-29060-5, published by Wiley-VCH

This book for advanced students and chemists can be renowned as a textbook in explaining domino Reactions as it depicts the complex sequent reactions according to mechanistic principles with a combination of fundamentals and examples, easy to be grasped. Of note, the number of examples is huge as about 1000 citations are involved. With which every example is listed with huge explanations, leaving no space for misunderstanding.

3, Elements of Synthesis Planning, by Reinhard W. Hoffmann, with ISBN: 978-3-540-79219-2, published by Springer

This is a practical guide book for advanced students on how to apply the related knowledge on synthesis planning to ensure a smooth process and ideal result in easy to be understood language. Besides, the book features in providing valuable practical tips to improve the result. Its first edition was issued in 2009 and examples are quite in date.

4, Advanced Organic Synthesis, by Francis A. Carey, Richard A. Sundberg, with ISBN-13: 978-0-387-68350-8, published by Springer

First edition was presented in 2005, but appeared early in 1977, is one of the most influential textbook like masterpieces in organic synthesis for graduate students. And now the book is in its fifth edition after several round of revision. The general content of the book is divided into two parts, one for basic concept and the other for reaction and synthesis with the aim of providing further understanding.

5, Reactions and Syntheses, by Lutz F. Tietze, Theophil Eicher, Ulf Diederichsen, Andreas Speicher, with ISBN: 978-3-527-31223-8, published by Wiley-VCH

Reactions and Synthesis features in its presentation of natural products and pharmaceuticals synthesis, combining theory with practice. Another important character of this book is that it contains the all essential information for a synthesis experiment, saving the time for looking for protocols and other related instructions. 



6, Modern Organic Synthesis - An Introduction, by George S. Zweifel, Michael H. Nantz, with ISBN: 978-0-716-77266-8, published by W. H. Freeman

This book is for advanced students with solid foundation on the basic knowledge of organic chemistry and synthesis. The main character is that it explains or defines some important reactions and reagents with the authors’ knowing combined with their experience and expertise. Then it condensed some key reactions rather than involve the common ones, which is significant in providing an understanding without involving many other references books.

7, Organic synthesis-State of the Art 2003–2005, by Douglass F. Taber, with ISBN: 0-470-05331-3, published by Wiley-Interscience

The book E-Z Organic Chemistry by Bruce A. Hathaway is quite good. Just another OChem book, but I really liked it. Also, almost all of the books in the SM Library here on OChem which I've read are great, specifically Vogel's Practical Organic Chemistry, ed.3. It contains a great collection of syntheses which are profitable to look through for getting an idea of the practical side of chemistry.
