11.7 Where can I find organic chemistry information?
General introductory information will be available in any technical library
where chemistry is taught. One popular modern text is " Organic Chemistry "
by T.W.G.Solomons [44], but my favourite is "Organic Chemistry"[45] by Fieser
and Fieser - a much more practical discussion of organic molecules.
Once you are familiar with organic chemistry mechanisms then "Advanced
Organic Chemistry" by Carey and Sandberg [46] is a good overview.
There are several compilations of organic synthesis techniques to assist
researchers. The multi-volume sets "Organic Reactions" [47], and "Reagents
for Organic Synthesis" [48], are examples of sets that will be available from
institution libraries. There are some good theoretical texts available, eg
"The Logic of Chemical Synthesis" [49]. For specific preparation and
properties of individual compounds, then Heilbron [50] and Beilstein [51],
are the initial resources of choice. There are several journals devoted to
organic chemistry in general, including Journal of Organic Chemistry,
Tetrahedron, etc.. Specific branches of organic chemistry, such as
Carbohydrates, Lipids, or Proteins have their own journals, as do
applications such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides.
