Synopsis

This volume contains 10 chapters. The contributions are from researchers - mousintheirrespective?eldsandthechapterscontainhighqualityreviewson topics related to the chemo-biologicalstudies of several different heterocyclic groups. The ?rst chapter from Saracoglu reviews the functionalization of indoles andthepyrrolesviaMichaeladditions,asthesecompoundshavepotential for their biologicalactivities.
