Outstanding Organic Chemistry Text...Morrison & Boyd are Rockstars November 28, 2008
Kris
I took Organic Chemistry I and II at UMCP back in the mid-80's and this was the text that accompanied the courses. Very concise and intelligently written.. Literally a joy to read(literally!). The book never once felt boring and uninspired. And there are a couple of hilarious entries somewhere in it. In retrospect, I miss the experience of this subject and the tremendously gratifying rush of accomplishing A's in both courses (back then). Thank you Morrison and Boyd for doing such beautiful work on this text..and the memories!
I first used it in 1967! August 19, 2008
Jerry Miller (Baltimore, MD)
I received my Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry in 1980, and this was one of the great books that, along with equally great professors (including L.M. Jackman of NMR fame, T.E. Young, and N.D. Heindel, former ACS president), made it possible. An interesting side note, with the flap today about trans-fatty acids: I remember that as far back as 1967, there were questions about the long-term safety of consuming these isomerization by-products of catalytic hydrogenation of vegetable oils, and I'm almost certain it was in Morrison & Boyd that I read this caveat. Unfortunately, the junk science of for-profit industries tends to shout down rational scientific concerns.

I used this text in the 80's as an undergrad in Brazil, and am now a chemistry professor. Although my research is in computational chemistry, and organic chemistry seems a lot like fantasy to me, I still love Morrison and Boyd's textbook. I remember my experience with it, and my awe in finding that someone could actually put a textbook together that was enjoyable to be read, and easy to understand - and mind you, I was not fluent in English back then. I have just recently realized that all my organic texts have been "borrowed" by students, and that I should really get Morrison's. And this time make sure nobody will take it out of my office. If you want to learn organic chemistry with no struggle, this is the book.
The standard against which all other text books should be measured! March 22, 2007

O.K. Let's face it: what could be more boring than Organic Chemistry - right? WRONG! Morrison and Boyd's Organic Chemistry takes the pallid and dry subject of Organic Chemistry and imbues it with a vitality and interest that will stupefy you. Trust me, you cannot begin to fathom how effective this book is at making its subject interesting and more importantly understandable. The authors are brilliant at introducing a complex and arcane topic, incrementally building slowly and confidently a framework of knowledge and information that nearly makes, of all things, intuitive sense when they are through.
Every educator should study Morrison and Boyd in an attempt to appreciate how it works its magic. I can say without reservation, this is the text book against which all others should be measured. You will not be disappointed.
One of the most pyramidal texts of Organic Chemistry ever published! March 9, 2006

Due its ambitious purposes and powerful transcendence, the whole understanding of this fundamental branch of the Science seems to be in an authentic crescendo day after day.
This book illustrates and clarifies such just a few, the most relevant aspects of this dynamic and expansive scientific discipline.
Recommended for students and teachers of Chemistry, Chemistry Engineers and Bio analysts.
