Of all the ones I have seen and used, this one is the most commonly used and my favorite: http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Chemistry-T-Graham-Solomons/dp/0470556595

Yeah I used solomons and I have to say it did a good job of explaining things. You might also want to look into getting the reagent guide from Master Organic chemistry, he runs a really good site too.

Solomons is a good organic chemistry textbook but most (I really mean all) organic chemists I have talked to about the matter recommend Organic chemistry by Clayden.

The Art of Writing Reasonable Organic Reaction Mechanisms is also good if you have the basic knowledge of organic chem down
