Summary: The Perfect Choice to begin with Organic Chemistry
Comment: This Review in Arabic, Because I have alot of good feelings about this book, which I can not describe it,clearly, without my native langauage, However, it will be hard to decribe it in Arabic too. it's a flood of good impressions.

Summary: The thoughts of a serious beginner
Comment: Halfway through a second-semester course in organic chemistry, I found myself thinking there has to be a better way to present this extremely complex material than is found in the text my class is using (Brown and Foote). A trip to the local academic bookstore where both new and used textbooks are sold proved this assumption wrong. There are four or five textbooks out there still in print and several others which have passed out of print. They all present the material in the same order and fashion as Brown and Foote: review of general chemistry as it applies to the chemistry of carbon, alkanes, cycloalkanes, stereochemistry, alkenes, alkynes,and then functional groups (here the order may vary slightly). Analytical techniques are saved for the middle of the book, then more functional groups until we reach a short unit on biochemistry at the end. From the point of view of this student the subject simply becomes overwhelming about three weeks into the second semester. Reaction after reaction to memorize with little clew as to how these fit into a general scheme for reaction types, mechanism after mechanism with little insight into how these fall into patterns. Then, haply, in the back corner I found Fox and Whitsell for a mere $(...). The material is presented in the way a painter makes a picture. First a sketch, then a little more detail, a little more color until the full portrait of organic chemistry (at the elementary level, at least) is replete with the same detail as in the other books, but with a gradually built foundation whose principles are called up over and again (with back references)so that the learner is not allowed to forget what she learned a month ago. By the end of the third chapter the student has been introduced to alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, cyclocompounds and functional groups containing heteroatoms divided by the hybridization they exhibit. We know about bond cleavage and formation, reaction types, and a nearly completed system for nomenclature. Then come analytical techniques, stereochemistry and chapters 6 and 7 on organic reactions and mechanisms which gives the learner some idea about how and why certain organic reactions go and why others do not and presents a pattern of mechanisms that can be applied thereafter. The detailed chapters that follow up through 16 don't have titles like ETHERS but "Substitution alpha to carbonyl groups," Skeletal-rearrangement reactions, etc. The last part of the book on biochemistry does not go down as Lipids, Carbohydrates, etc., but as Naturally occurring oxygen-containing compounds, Energy storage in organic molecules,etc.
I rejoice in finding this book and have started to re-read the whole course as Ms.Fox has written it. Alas, likely I will not finish that task before the end of the semester catches up to me, but the great CD Whitsell has put into the package will help me review everything without rereading everything since its quizzes mimic the American Chemical Society's standardized test that our class must stand in lieu of a final examination.
THIS IS THE BOOK on O-chem!

Summary: Novice Approach to Organic Chemistry
Comment: Editorial review is right about this book. No current organic text is written and presented like Fox. Instead of a coherent discussion on different functional groups and thier chemistry, Fox had adopted a new approach in introducing the basic concepts of the subject. Chromatography and spectroscopy, the core idea in organic laboratory and research, is introduced early in Chapter 4. The coverage on NMR and GC might be supplemented by an introductory text on the subject like Crews' "Organic Structural Analysis". Yet Fox had successfully familiarized students with the concepts of research. The rest of the text discusses reaction types and mechanisms. A chapter is devoted to the idea of multistep synthesis and retrosynthesis. The book also emphasizes on mechanisms and coming up with the most efficient synthetic route as reflected in the end-of-chapter problem sets.
