book

Sir I want to buy an advanced book for reference in organic. My tuition teacher has suggested that I read one after studying from bahl n bahl and school books. I have found out about 2 books which meet my requirements---Peter Sykes and Morrison & Boyd . Which do you think is better for me to buy ??

Sykes is not a text book.. It is a collection of mechanisms.

You should use Morrison Boyd. You could add Sykes as a reference book

both books are awesome.

Even bhal and bahl is decent.

You could actually try Solomon's!

It is really well written. In the same league as Morrison Boyd.

believe me.......arihant will just lead you to wilderness and wrong explanations.....never go for arihant.....its dangerous.....better go for mechanism books by MUKUL C.RAY (mtg publishers) and S.N.SANYAL(bharati bhawan publishers) !!!!!

i have once read finar.it is also a gud one,but it doesnt have colourful diagrams,i was using structure and reactivity by seyhan ege it has some gud appearence and mcmurry which was really pleasant to study organic nobody hate organic if u study mcmurry it was really colourful.

I dont know why everyone is so much against arihant organic..

I used it for my preparations.. It is a really good book to use for class XII and specially towards the end.. (of course not for those who want to master the subject)

For them morrison boyd or solomon's etc would be ideal

but now do you have the time to study those bibles?

I dont think so ..

I still stick to my recommendation of Arihant organic.. even though I aint any chemistry expert ...
