Organic Chem Further Knowledge
ok. i know pretty much all the basics about organic chemistry. such as isomerism, nomenclature, and some simple functional groups. but i really need
to further my knowledge. can anybody maybe point me in the direction of some really in depth organic sources online, or maybe recommend some top-notch
organic books? much thanks

If you are interested in the synthesis' of organic chemicals then "Mann and Saunders Practical Organ Chemistry" is good as well as
Vogel. Mann and saunders is available coutesy of Polverone here:

Also here is a site of organic reactions

When I'm in the library, the general organic text I gravitate towards is March's "Advanced Organic Chemistry", which is quite
common (every college library seems to have at least one). One of the nice things is it provides lot of references, so you can look up specifics on
many things, if you can find a library with the appropriate journals.
The only text I have at home is McMurry's "Organic Chemistry", one of the more popular introductory texts. Most intro texts will
probably be similar. Like most high volume textbooks, it is big, heavy, and expensive in comparison to its utility.
There are many decent internet sources, especially for introductory material, but I don't have a list.
Edot: You probably noticed I gravitate towards the somewhat theoretical side of things. Good cookbook procedures are so much more useful if you know
why they work. That said, if someone offered me two chemistry books right now, I'd go with March and Vogel: the theoretical and the practical.
Both are old standbys and quite common.
