Looking for the best organic chemistry exercise books

Post by Pemvak »

Dear all,

I am looking for the best descriptive organic chemistry exercise books (for pharmacy students).
I would like to get training manuals with exercises classified by order of difficulty and clarity in their resolution.
A top 3 would be sufficient.

Thanks so much to any helpers.
