<p>So basically, please recommend some great organic chemistry text-books, reference books, etc. that will help me in college as I go on the pre-med track. Also, what organic chemistry books do colleges use?</p>
<p>We're using "Organic Chemistry" 4th ed. by Marc Loudon. It seems to be a good book although occasionally the professor will disagree with Loudon (esp. on certain mechanisms and what not) and will tell us to disregard the mechanism in the book.</p>
