Robert Neilson Boyd and Robert T. Morrison were American chemists. The former was professor of chemistry at New York University from 1947.Their first book was in 1959 . This is one of the best seller books. It has gone through seven editions and has also been translated in various languages.
Organic chemistry deals with the structure, physical and chemical properties and reactions of organic mixtures and reagents. This book expresses the concepts very clearly and the rudimentary aspects of the topic in a reader-friendly language. The book is divided into several sections.
The chapters comprise of fundamental aspects of organic chemistry, specific topics, chemistry of functional groups, contemporary and future organic chemistry and biomolecules and bioorganic chemistry. The 7th edition of this book is available in paperback in many online shops, book stalls, libraries. It was published by Pearson education in the year 2010.
Indeed, I had a very clear picture of structural aspects of organic compounds and their reaction mechanisms by referring this book during my college days. There was a big competition among students in borrowing this book from college library. This book is a real asset and every chemistry student should personally possess this book. I extract many notes from this book and ask many questions in the assignments and tests mainly from this book.
