ORGANIC CHEMISTRY By Francis A. Carey (Fourth Edition)

From its first edition, this book has taken care of transmitting basic knowledge about organic chemistry to undergraduate students. This is by far the most interesting and reader friendly text available in the field of organic chemistry.

This book attracts the readers with its fascinating computer graphics, especially the 3D drawing showing electron densities. 

Mechanisms of reactions involved in organic chemistry have been logically explained and drawn beautifully. 

Problems and brainstorming exercises at the end of each chapter further adds to understanding the concepts.

A highly recommended book for undergraduate learners, comprising of 27 chapters.
