Hello,

I will be taking Organic Chemistry 1 in the fall. I've been reading some sections of organic chemistry 8th edition by john e. mcmurry. This book is required and I was wondering if there's any other chemistry books. When I read it, it makes it hard for me to understand what it's saying. And The homework section is confusing.

Besides David Klein, are there other ones like him?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Morrison & Boyd.
 
I recommend Wade Jr's Organic Chemistry or Hornback's Organic Chemistry. Both are very good at first introduction.
 
Solomon's and fryl is best!
