Organic chemistry book recommendations

[StringJunky]

I have a strong interest in the gut microbiome,  but my ignorance of organic chemistry  is stumping further progress. Can anybody suggest any good primer titles to get me started. My current level of inorganic'physical chemistry is around 17-18 year old student stuff. It's probably a bit more now as a 60 year old but that's the general idea.

Rather than wade through a lot of organic chemistry that is of little interest to you why not try something like the latest version of this ?

 

Other tnagential approaches might be the Oxford books on Physical Chemistry for Biochemists and Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

Come back if you want more details.
