Heterocyclic Chemistry, 5th Edition

The authors have thoroughly reviewed the material included in the earlier Editions, to make amendments in the light of new knowledge, and to include many important 21^st Century advances

Entirely, new sections include ‘Organometallic heterocyclic chemistry’, ‘Heterocycles in medicine’, reflecting the large part that heterocyclic chemistry plays in the pharmaceutical industry, and ‘Heterocycles in biochemistry; heterocyclic natural products’.

Also included are new sections dealing explicitly with a number of topics important in the heterocyclic context: (i) heterocyclic fluorine compounds, (ii) isotopically labeled heterocycles, and (iii) the modern techniques of solid-phase chemistry, microwave heating and flow reactors.

Two colour diagrams indicate where a change in structure or bonding has taken place, facilitating comprehension and understanding of the chemical changes that are occurring.
