The two-part, fifth edition of Advanced Organic Chemistry has been substantially revised and reorganized for greater clarity. The material has been updated to reflect advances in the field since the previous edition, especially in computational chemistry. Part B describes the most general and useful synthetic reactions, organized on the basis of reaction type. It can stand-alone; together, with Part A: Structure and Mechanisms, the two volumes provide a comprehensive foundation for the study in organic chemistry. Companion websites provide digital models for students and exercise solutions for instructors.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Aus den Rezensionen zur 5. Auflage: "… In Teil B sind wichtige Reaktionen der organischen Chemie beschrieben. … Jedes Kapitel enthält mechanistische Details, Grundlagen, aber auch eine Vielzahl weiterer Beispiele mit den … Literaturreferenzen. … Teil A und B … werden … aufgrund Ihrer Aktualität … nach der Akademischen Laufbahn einen grossen Nutzen für den Leser haben. … Der Carey-Sundberg ist für alle Studenten interessant, die sich detailliert mit der Organischen Chemie auseinandersetzen … Durch den Umfang und die Qualität der Besprechungen empfiehlt sich … der Einsatz als erste Konsultations-Möglichkeit bei konkreten Forschungsfragen im späteren Berufsleben …" (http://www.organische-chemie.ch/buecher/besprechungen/0387683461.shtm) "… Die einzelnen Kapitel des Buches sind nach dem jeweiligen Reaktionstyp geordnet. Am Ende jedes Kapitels sind Übungsaufgaben gestellt um das Gelernte zufestigen. Sehr hilfreich ist in diesem Zusammenhang, dass die Lösung in Form einer Literaturstelle angegeben ist. … Ebenso ist der gebrauchte Sprachstil gut verständlich. … Empfehlenswert ist das Buch auch für Studenten höheren Semesters, da durch die vielen Literaturstellen schnell auch auf die praktische Durchführung der jeweiligen Reaktion zurückgegriffen werden kann." (in: KVV - Kommentiertes Vorleseverzeichnis, 2008/2009, S. 19)

4.0 out of 5 stars
Strong graduate-level text,
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Organic Chemistry : Reactions and Synthesis (Part B) (Paperback)
While a bit dated (1990), it is nevertheless a comprehensive overview of organic synthesis suitable for upper-level undergraduates or graduate students in organic chemistry. Unlike reference works like March, it is more of a textbook - however, a good number of references (with few mistakes) are provided. Along with part "A" of the series and a more reference-oriented work such as March, it provides a solid foundation and entry point to the literature for advanced students of organic chemistry.

Magnificient in its own essence,
By Carlos Valdez (Castro Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advanced Organic Chemistry : Reactions and Synthesis (Part B) (Paperback)
I found this book extremely easy to read and makes a great addition to the library owned by an organic chemist. Certainly, this book deserves much attention and I believe that it describes many concepts in a simpler manner when comparison to Jerry March's book is called upon. The book is well-written and is exactly what undergraduate students interested in organic chemistry need to read if they want to expand their knowledge of the field without getting into a complex text right away. Definitively, I recommend this book in the shelf of any practicing and non-practicing chemist.

Strong Organic Text,
By Jason B. "ebays-cyclonechem" (Ames, IA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advanced Organic Chemistry, Fourth Edition - Part B: Reaction and Synthesis (Advanced Organic Chemistry / Part B: Reactions and Synthesis) (Paperback)
I thought that the book was clear and interesting. It explained the reactions in sufficient detail for the first graduate level organic class I took.
My only complaint was that there was no answer guide. The answers are given as literature references, necessitating that you go look them up. When you are assigned 30 of his problems, that's not a trivial task, especially when some of the journals are esoteric. Also, finding the journal isn't enough, as often the journal citation has nothing to do with the problem. The "answer molecule" might just appear somewhere in that article. And then, to add insult to injury, there are errors in the citations. It's a great reference, but I wish that the problems in the book had more readily available answers.
