Not the best, it helps.......2007-07-02
The last comment from James Min is on the ball, however, although many of the questions ARE too easy..there are too easy for sum1 who has a solid foundation in OCHEM, like myself. However, with sum of teh questions that i got wrong, the explaniations were perfect in allowing me to understand and review sum of the things that I 4got. Example: What is the hydrogen defeciency of C1204h3Br1-
The formula for this problem is (2n+2) - x/2 where is the number of carbons and x is the number of hydrogen OR Halogen...My OCHEM prof never mentioned that we added the halogens to this equation! So overall I will give the book 4 stars
It will not prepare you for the MCAT.......2007-06-30
It does not deal sufficiently with reactions. The questions are too easy. I don't have a problem with the questions being in discrete forms since one needs solid understanding of the materials (through discrete questions) before being able to tackle passage based questions. But, after having gone through about 50% of the book so far, I don't feel like I've improved in my knowledge base in Ochem. If you need very very basic questions, this book is for you. I get the feeling this book was put together in a hasty manner with little thought invested in the quality of the questions. I would not recommend this book.
Exam Style.......2005-09-23
This book is a hasty review of Orgo, but it covers most of the MCAT material in relatively small number of pages. Although some diagrams are not very helpful, it tells you most of what you need. It is basically a good book if you are a time-pressed pre-med trying to take the MCAT in 2 months. If you have more time, I recommend reading over your orgo textbook once more and doing problem sets in various other MCAT preparation materials (the ones with only MCAT style problems). Hope this helps.
Decent.......2005-07-24
This book was decent in that it reviewed some of the fundemental concepts necessary for the MCAT. However, most of the questions were too easy, and none resemble the format of an actual MCAT question (not passage based). There were some errors, but easy to identify. The book was worth having for extra practice if you have the money, but don't expect much.
Perfect practice problems for MCAT.......2004-02-19
Practice is the key to the MCAT. Review is an essential first step, but is only part of the complete preparation for the MCAT. ORGO 1001 will help you guys ace the Biological Science questions. Everything from stereochemistry to lab techniques is in this book. There are over 90 stereochemistry questions alone. This book won't guarantee a 15, but it may help raise your score a couple points.

Customer Reviews:
Great author, but watch for errors..........2005-08-11
This author writes on this subject in an informative and unbiased way. I am a nursing student and this kind of knowledge is essential. Especially since I will probably end up working in an Emergency Department or as a Psych Nurse. I could only give it 3+ stars. I couldnt give it 4 or 5 stars as I did find some technical errors. Also some of the information presented does not clarify somethings, which could lead someone to a misconception. But all in all this is a book I would recommend to students of health professions.
Book Description

Introduction to Organic Chemistry II
ASIN: 0632044179 |
Book Description
<11th Hour> Univ. of Central Florida, Orlando. Text designed as a complement to larger textbooks and exam review. Includes key points, brief explanations, essential background topics at the beginning of each chapter, tests, and sample final and midterm exams. For students. Softcover.
Book Description
This long-awaited, greatly-expanded new edition of a best-selling guide offers an encyclopedic and systematic collection of useful synthetic methodology, including tens of thousands of reactions and synthetic transformations. The first edition has been reviewed in the professional journals as "clearly...the first choice for researchers seeking information on synthetic transformations." And as "useful to anyone who must do organic synthesis, especially those whose focus is not strictly organic chemistry. It provides a...clear road map to the synthetic literature and should be kept within easy reach of the chemist's desk."
Customer Reviews:
A must have for any medicinal chemist.......2007-08-25
This is one of the best reference books to use if something in literature doesn't go according to plan...which it almost always does.
It's also extremely helpful in drug design and helping plan those unknown reactions, etc.
I don't think this would be helpful to anyone except organic or synthetic chemists.
review/comment in response to foregoing poor reviews.......2007-04-04
The following comments are offered as counterpoint to other reviews, and are collected here so that I can offer the excellent rating I do, above. I apologize for the redundancies that appear. M-ED
In response to 'Matthew M. Yau':
COT is the practical encyclopedic work of choice among books of its type, and is well worth the time it takes to master it's indexing and formats.
Other encyclopedic books lack the practical pointedness and insight that comes from an actively publishing chemist/group still in the thick of the research game. This criticism cannot be leveled against the Larock book. That group is in the thick of it, and moving ahead the forefront of modern research chemistry. (Most of us wish that we might contribute as much as he/they already have.) In re: comparison with March, see also Comment to 'gregory.schaaf' below.
In response to 'A reader' / 'don't waste you time' [sic] :
The care and thought that appears to have gone into this review makes it almost unworthy of reply, but since Amazon has no weighting system for their review scoring, and this review brings the average score down for this important synthetic organic research reference, it demands comment.
COT is the practical encyclopedic work of choice among books of its type, and is well worth the time it takes to master it's indexing and formats.
Moreover, in a period where the shear numbers of articles on syntheses and methodologoes are exploding, the careful hand of a knowledgable pro becomes all the more useful. Choosing problems to work on is a challenge, not of seeing what's out there, but of understanding what's not -- ie, perceiving the areas of darkness amidst an emphasis on the well-lit geographies of the chemistry landscape. Map's like Larock make much faster the job of perceiving such, allowing one to use computer search tools and other encyclopedic works all the more effectively to do the followup scholarly work necessary (filling in gaps, looking to more recent literature threads).
Speaking personally, my group and I are publishing, and have received funding for, novel synthetic paths/ideas that arise because we are stimulated by the cataloging the Larock group and others have done.
Finally, other encyclopedic books -- and the above reviewer's naive comment to the contrary, the one volume nature of Larock, thick as it is, is a benefit -- lack the practical pointedness and insight that comes from an actively publishing chemist/group still in the thick of the research game. This criticism cannot be leveled against the LaRock book. They are in the thick of it, and moving ahead the forefront of modern research chemistry. (Most of us wish that we might contribute as much as he/they already have.)
In response to 'gregory.schaaf':
It is generally understood (I think) that [other']s book, while encyclopedic, lacked some of the practical pointedness and insight that might come from an actively publishing chemist/group still in the thick of the research game. This question might be addressed by the addition of [new authors to] current production.
The foregoing criticism cannot be leveled against the LaRock book. Larock's group is in the thick of it, and moving ahead the forefront of modern research chemistry. (Most of us wish that we might contribute as much as he/they already have.) In this sense, COT is the practical encyclopedic work of choice, and is well worth the time it takes to master it's indexing and formats.
Agreed - a must have for the practicing organic chemist.......2004-02-15
I agree that the bad reviews are probably predominantly from non-chemists. Larock's first edition has become an absolute standard reference on the desk of the practicing organic chemist, who is after lead references and an idea of how a given transformation has been done. I have seen his 2nd edition and it is much the same, only updated and expanded. The price is high, but typical for the field and quite justified. I am waiting til I can buy it with faculty startup funds, but in 6 months it will be on my desk!
Ignore the non-chemists reviewing this book........2001-01-10
I want to help others sort through the conflicting reviews of this book. As a PhD chemist, I can say unequivocally that this book is not for the non-professional, as I suspect the negative reviewers are. The indexing system is not intuitive, but makes sense once you've begun to use it. One of the reviewers complains that database searching is better than this book. This book is intended to help you find straightforward procedures for relatively straightforward reactions and allows you to look at the many things that have been tried to effect a given transformation. These are things that the databases can't help much with since these reactions have been done in the literature thousands of times, and any search will generate a huge mess of matches.
Hoping Big but Disappointing.......2000-10-04
The title "Comprehensive Orgainc Transformations" strikes me with much hope that all representative functional groups tranfer and reactions will be fully explained and included in one volume for easy reference. Well, not so quick.
Cited references from this volume might be the only (+) that I will credit to the piece. The organization of the book is extremely perplexing and weird. It is not very easy to find a reaction that I desire. In fact, the details for transformation are disappointingly little. If you plan to get this book with the same expectation, you should turn to Jerry March's Advanced Organic Chemistry or the Beilstein Cross-Fire Organic Reaction and Compounds software. Any advanced texts on organic synthesis will give you more details.
Oh, by the way, the price () is just stunningly high and ridiculous.
