The discussion revolves around the book "Organic Chemistry" by Robert T. Morrison and Robert N. Boyd, focusing on its editions, content quality, and suitability for different levels of learners. Participants share their experiences with the book, comparing it to other organic chemistry texts, particularly in the context of self-study and tutoring.
Participants do not reach a consensus; there are multiple competing views regarding the quality and suitability of the book for different audiences, with some praising it and others criticizing it heavily.
Participants mention that the book may not be ideal for beginners and suggest that it should be used as a secondary reference. There are also discussions about the differences in editions and their availability in different regions.
This discussion may be useful for students considering which organic chemistry textbook to use, particularly those weighing the merits of Morrison and Boyd's book against other options like Solomons and Fryhle.
When the 7th Edition come. The International Student Edition is on 6th yet.[check amazon]utkarshakash said:The latest 7th edition is the worst book for organic chemistry I have ever seen. Everything has been made compact compromising with the quality of the text. I'd rather suggest you to go for Solomons and Fryhle. It is the best book for beginners.

Pranav-Arora said:Really? I have completed this book (except biomolecules :P) and so far I have loved it. I don't think there is any reduction in the content. Both the editions are same, the 7th one is just a "rearranged" edition of the 6th.
And did someone list the book Organic Chemistry by Solomons and Fryhle?
The 7th edition is the one published in India.
This book is not concise I have 6th Indian Edition but this is very fat comparing to J D Lee Inorganic. Also if you are using this as a self study book then the chances of getting Knowledge from this book is very Low.Read it as a second Reference Book.utkarshakash said:I am amazed how you are able to understand with such a concise book!
