Reference for advanced OChem

[CarbonCopy]

I would like to know the best book to learn advanced Organic Chem for the graduate level ( or post graduate, same thing ). I'm using March's OChem book. It seems good, but does it cover all the topics necessary ? Any suggestions.

I feel like March's is a great book for reference, but a terrible book to actually learn from. The most highly recommended book I know of for learning physical/mechanistic organic chemistry is "Modern Physical Organic Chemistry" by anslyn. "The art of writing reasonable organic reaction mechanisms" by Grossman is a good book for first year graduate students and is more of a tutorial than Modern Physical.

 

For the more synthetic side of things "Advanced Organic Part B" by Carey is a good one.

 

For pericyclic reactions Fleming's book is a fantastic starting point.
