Progress In Heterocyclic Chemistry

Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry, Volume 2, reports on important original material abstracted from the 1989 literature of heterocyclic chemistry. The chapters are organized according to ring size and the type of heteroatom contained. The text is supported by clear diagrams, references and a subject index.

This is the seventeenth annual volume of Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry, which covers the literature published during 2004 on most of the important heterocyclic ring systems. The volume opens with two specialized reviews: Dennis Wright covers Furans as Versatile Synthons for Target-Oriented and Diversity-Oriented Synthesis; and John Hepworth and Mark Heron discuss 'The Synthesis and Photochromic Properties of Naphthopyrans'. The remaining chapters examine the recent literature on the common heterocycles in order of increasing ring size and the heteroatoms present.* Includes new contributions from experts in the field* Covers literature published during 2004 on most of the important heterocyclic ring systems * Presents reviews on Versatile Synthons for Target-Oriented and Diversity-Oriented Synthesis; and Synthesis and Photochromic Properties of Naphthopyrans

Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry (PHC) Volume 6 reviews critically the heterocyclic literature essentially published in 1993. The first two chapters are given over to reviews. In Chapter 1 the fascinating subject of the "Halogen Dance" is comprehesively surveyed by J. Frohlich of the Technical University of Vienna. The author also discusses some of his unpublished results on the topic. The second review is of an entirely new format for PHC. The President of ISHC A. Padwa describes the application of selected "Heterocycles as Vehicles for Synthesis". The remaining chapters describe advances in the heterocyclic field arranged, as in previous volumes, according to ring-size. Numerous diagrams and a brief index are also included.
