About this title: Functional groups and reaction mechanisms are used as organizing principles in this text. The book's primary organization is by functional group, beginning with the simple and progressing to the complex. Within this organization, the author emphasizes the fundamental mechanistic similarities of reactions. This third edition includes new problems, bringing the total number of problems to more than 1,650, and the full-colour design incorporates a new colour palette that is used pedagogically consistently in chemical formulas, in chemical structures, and in the artwork.

"I have never been one to have the discipline to actually read textbooks, but for this class I turned to the text out of desperation. I was pleasantly surprised. Unlike most science texts, McMurray's Organic Chemistry is not a bad read. It is clear to understand, with good written, and visual examples of concepts. There are practice problems throughout the chapters, as well as a series of exercises at the end of each chapter. I found doing the exercises at the end of each section to be very helpful, and could use it as a check before going onto the next topic. If you don't need to know organic chemistry, then I can't really recommend this as a fun read, but if you do, this is a pretty good text to study from."
"Especially for the price, this book has been exactly what I needed as an OChem review. I'm working in an organic geochemistry lab now and I needed to relearn a lot of topics that I had forgotten. I think I got my moneys worth!"
"I had to read this book for Organic Chemistry. As far as textbooks go, this one was easy to understand and very well laid out. It is also one of the books that the Organic Chemistry section of the Dental Admissions Test is taken from, so I was lucky to use it in my class. Overall, I'd say I didn't really enjoy it (because of the subject matter), but for a textbook it was easy to learn from."
