The "Organic Chemistry" by Clayden, Greeves, and Warren is the most classic and representative textbook of Organic Chemistry from the British school.

For the most part, Organic Chemistry textbooks available worldwide, including in Greece, organize their content by presenting organic compounds in groups based on their structural characteristics. This is the most common approach in teaching Organic Chemistry.

The content is organized and knowledge is structured in parallel series of organic compounds. Along with the presentation of various series, the mechanisms governing the reactions of compounds with different characteristic groups are also developed. Clayden, Greeves, and Warren chose a different way of presenting the material of Organic Chemistry, a method that has been adopted not only by the majority of British universities but also by a large number of teachers worldwide. A presentation based on mechanisms and the actual cause of each organic transformation. With this approach, the authors believe that students can learn Organic Chemistry in a more accurate way, understanding more fully the phenomena and principles that govern the science of chemistry.

This work is an extremely suitable textbook for advanced chemists. For undergraduate students who have already come into contact with Organic Chemistry or for graduate students who already have knowledge of Organic Chemistry and wish to delve deeper into its subject and understand it better. The first volume includes all the general topics of basic Organic Chemistry. Thus, the first volume contains all the required material for teaching Organic Chemistry in a semester-long course and can be used in university departments that include Organic Chemistry as a semester-long course in their curriculum (e.g., Agriculture, Biology, etc.).
