Product Description
Building on the resounding success of the first volume (0-471-27235-3), Organic Chemistry as a Second Language, Volume 2 provides readers with clear, easy-to-understand explanations of fundamental principles. It explores the critical concepts while also examining why they are relevant. The core content is presented within the framework of predicting products, proposing mechanisms, and solving synthesis problems. Readers will fine-tune the key skills involved in solving those types of problems with the help of interactive, step-by-step instructions and problems.

 Organic Chemistry II as a second language = GOOD BUY! October 28, 2008
Great book, both the first and second book in this series really help you in ochem!!! They are well worth the price!!! I use them more than my text book and I have an A right now!!!
 Great so far August 25, 2008
I have read only the first 3 chapters or so but so far the material has been very helpful. The author does a great job of describing concepts clearly and in a manner which does not confuse the reader further. I would recommend it to anyone struggling in OChem 2. It would be helpful, I think, if you began reading it before the semester starts as the book does not go along the same schedule as the material taught in class usually. Besides it really helps to solidify the majors points in your head beforehand.
Good Supplement for Organic Chemistry April 27, 2008
I have both the Organic Chemistry as a Second Language, and the Second Semester topics addition. I find both very useful tools for understanding OCHEM. The first semester book has useful nomenclature section, which is not covered at all in the second addition. I think a nomenclature section for the benzene section, and to show how Carboxylic Acid and other carbonyls are named and numbered would be helpful practice, although some of it may be review. However, the explanations for benzene ring mechanisms and modificaton is indispensable. This series of books are only supplements, and cannot replace the text, or lecture because there are topics not covered in the "language" books, and some reactions that are included in the Second Semester book may not be required in a specific course. You can not go wrong by investing in these books and working the practice problems.
Wonderful... if you have the time? April 5, 2008
I struggle typically because I'm not spending enough time with the textbook assigned.
All in all, my only complaint is I don't have enough time to take full advantage of this wonderful supplement.
it helps March 18, 2008
I ordered the book a week ago. I was desperate about orgo at that time. Read the first page and you'll find that it teaches you the skills to deal with orgo mechanism, synthesis, and predicting product. They all started to make sense now. I am still in the third chapter but I really feel the differences it makes. If I have read this book earlier, I won't have such a hard time in orgo.
