Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The text continues to build on its reputation of providing students with a progressive introduction to organic chemistry. One of the most outstanding features of the new edition is an increased and more thorough coverage of mechanisms. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Third edition is clearly written and provides students with many more real life examples of organic chemistry, especially in the areas of bio-organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry.

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 very 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

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.

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.
