Handbook Of Heterocyclic Chemistry

Heterocyclic compounds play a vital role in the metabolism of living cells. Their practical applications range from extensive clinical use to fields as diverse as agriculture, photography, biocide formulation and polymer science. Written by leading scholars and industry experts, the Handbook of Heterocyclic Chemistry is thoroughly updated with over 50% new content. It has been rewritten with a new expanded author team, who have carefully distilled essential information on the reactivity, structure and synthesis of heterocycles from the 2008 major reference work Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry III. To bring the work up to date the author team have also added new synthetic examples and structures, key applications and new references from 2008-2010. Contains more than 1500 clearly drawn structures and reactions. The highly systematic coverage given to the subject makes this one of the most authoritative single-volume accounts of modern heterocyclic chemistry available and should be useful reference for those teaching a heterocyclic course. Covers the structure, reactivity and synthesis of all heterocyclic compounds as distilled from the larger 15-volume reference work Saves researchers time when they require important information on heterocycles--speeding them to thousands of clearly drawn chemical structures and pertinent reviews by leading experts Features 35% new material to compliment the completely revised text

Provides a one-volume overall picture of the largest of the classical divisions of organic chemistry, suitable for the graduate or advanced undergraduate student, as well as for research workers, both specialists in the field and those engaged in another discipline and requiring knowledge of heterocyclic chemistry. It represents Volume 9 of Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry and utilizes the general chapters which appear in the 8-volume work. The highly systematic coverage given to the subject makes this the most authoritative one-volume account of modern heterocyclic chemistry available.

Heterocyclic chemistry is the largest of the classical divisions of organic chemistry. Heterocyclic compounds are widely distributed in Nature, playing a vital role in the metabolism of living cells. Their practical applications range from extensive clinical use to fields as diverse as agriculture, photography, biocide formulation and polymer science. The range of known compounds is enormous, encompassing the whole spectrum of physical, chemical and biological properties. This book provides a balanced, a concise and informative account of heterocyclic chemistry that will be suitable for graduate or advanced undergraduate students and a convenient reference book for research workers, for both specialists int he field and those whose expertise lies in other areas but who nevertheless need information on heterocylic chemistry. The Handbook of Heterocyclic Chemistry is illustrated throughout with thousands of clearly drawn chemical structures. The highly systematic coverage given to the subject makes this the most authoritative one-volume account of modern heterocyclic chemistry available. * Provides a balanced, concise and informative account of heterocyclic chemistry * Written by leading scholars and industry experts * Illustrated throughout with thousands of clearly drawn chemical structures * The most authoritative one-volume account of modern heterocyclic chemistry available

Heterocyclic compounds are important natural products and have widespread uses as pharmaceuticals, dyestuffs, agrochemicals, and pigments. This textbook provides a survey of the various types of heterocyclic ring system. The text has been organized in such a way that the general aspects of the chemistry and properties of heterocyclic compounds are described in the first half of the book and specific classes of heterocycles are then discussed in the second half. Both aromatic and nonaromatic ring systems are included. various methods available for synthesising heterocyclic compounds. This chapter has been expanded and brought up to date in the Second Edition. The second half of the book has been re-organized so that the most common aromatic heterocyclic ring systems are introduced first. Modern applications of heterocyclic chemistry in medicine and in organic synthesis are given prominence in this part of the text. The final chapter provides a guide to the current methods of naming heterocyclic compounds. text, and by a set of problems. Throughout the text numerous references are given to socialist reviews and, where appropriate, to papers from the primary literature. chemistry and for students of biochemistry, pharmacology and related subjects who have a good background knowledge of organic chemistry. It should also be useful as a reference source to more advanced workers in these subjects.

Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry is the definitive series in the field—one of great importance to organic chemists, polymer chemists, and many biological scientists. Because biology and organic chemistry increasingly intersect, the associated nomenclature also is being used more frequently in explanations. Written by established authorities in the field from around the world, this comprehensive review combines descriptive synthetic chemistry and mechanistic insight to yield an understanding of how chemistry drives the preparation and useful properties of heterocyclic compounds. Considered the definitive serial in the field of heterocyclic chemistry Serves as the go-to reference for organic chemists, polymer chemists, and many biological scientists Provides the latest comprehensive reviews written by established authorities in the field Combines descriptive synthetic chemistry and mechanistic insight to enhance understanding of how chemistry drives the preparation and useful properties of heterocyclic compounds

The must-have reference in the field of heterocyclic compounds, comprehensively covering their synthesis, structure and chemical and physical properties. By presenting only the important facts, this handbook succeeds in being complete while containing the information in just two volumes. An up-to-date source of high-quality information for all organic and medicinal chemists working in this field in industry and academia.
