Synopsis

Heterocyclic compounds are of prime importance to organic chemists working in the chemical industry, and heterocyclic chemistry is therefore a fundamental topic in undergraduate chemistry courses. The emphasis of this short text is on synthetic aspects, rather than properties, and it covers the essential details and basic principles with reference to all the important classes of heterocyclic compounds. Instructional problems are included as an aid to comprehension, and references to more detailed texts are provided.

About this title

Review:

'The material is well presented and there are problems with answers.'Aslib Book Guide, Vol. 57, No. 7, July 1992

'I support whole-heartedly the objectives of this series of books, and was thus very pleased to see heterocyclic chemistry feature early in the series ... The author has managed, in only 88 pages, to distil the essence of the area and present it in a very readable fashion. The approach is modern. The style of writing is clear and straight-forward. The detailed content is pretty much what I wanted to see. In short I recommend this book enthusiastically to all students and teachers looking for a manageable introduction to the area of heterocyclic chemistry; I have already adopted it as the course book for my own course!'R.C.F. Jones, Nottingham University, TiPS, November 1992 (Vol. 13)

'his book contains the very essence of the subject... This is a truly excellent slim volume ... and will serve as a useful springboard between homocyclic aromatic chemistry and the more advanced works on heterocyclic chemistry.'R.M. Scrowston, Education in Chemistry, July 1993.
