Summary:
An excellent introduction for chemistry, biology, and premed majors, ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Fifth Edition, delivers cutting-edge coverage that is packed with student-friendly features. Offering a clear presentation, the book offsets reaction mechanisms in a stepwise fashion and emphasizes similarities between related mechanisms. And, for the first time, it introduces organic chemistry of sulfur and phosphorus. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Fifth Edition, is renowned for its unified mechanistic themes, emphasis on biological examples, use of applied problems from the pharmaceutical field, and unrivaled full-color visuals. The new fifth edition features increased coverage of bioorganic chemistry, expanded in-text learning tools, and even stronger media integration--including ORGANIC OWL, its powerful Web-based homework system. Numerous resources help ensure student success in the course, including a running margin glossary, an in-text study guide, and more in-chapter examples than any text on the market. The text also emphasizes how-to skills throughout and is packed with challenging synthesis problems as well as medicinal chemistry problems.

You can learn o-chem from this book, especially if you have a good professor, but others are better. When I took the course, many of the students who did well were using Wade or McMurry as supplemental texts. I later tutored for a section which used the McMurray book and realized why - most of the mechanisms are explained better in those other books than they are in Brown, and some of the material, eg epoxide reactions, in Brown is so simplified that I realized when I was tutoring that I had learned it wrong the first time.

The chapter organization of the book is nice, as is the artwork, and I thought the problems were reasonable. The solutions manual came in very handy though.

If you are required to use this text, I would recommend looking for a used copy of Wade or McMurray as well

Its Alright

My only real qualm with this book (other than the fact that I had to buy it for Organic Chemistry) was that sometimes the explanations were very simple to understand and helped what was said in class immensely, and sometimes they really didn't make any sense at all. Good enough book though.

not a bad book

i am using this for my organic class currently. we don't use it often, it is more for using tables and the homework examples, but it really isn't that bad.
granted i haven't looked at a lot of other organic textbooks, but, as far as texbooks go, it isn't bad.
