Book description
The up-to-DATE guide to name reactions in heterocyclic chemistry
Name Reactions in Heterocyclic Chemistry II presents a comprehensive
treatise on name reactions in heterocyclic chemistry, one of the most
excitingÂ-and importantÂ-fields within organic chemistry today.
The book not only covers fresh ground, but also provides extensive
information on new and/or expanded reactions in:
-
Three- and four-membered heterocycles
-
Five-membered heterocycles (pyrroles and pyrrolidines, indoles,
furans, thiophenes, and oxazoles)
-
Six-membered heterocycles, including pyridines, quinolines, and isoquinolines
Featuring contributions from the leading authorities in heterocyclic
chemistry. Each section includes a description of the given reaction,
as well as the relevant historical perspective, mechanism, variations
and improvements, synthetic utilities, experimental details, and
references to the current primary literature.
The reactions covered in Name Reactions in Heterocyclic Chemistry
have been widely adopted in all areas of organic synthesis, from the
medicinal/pharmaceutical field, to agriculture, to fine chemicals, and
the book brings the most cutting-edge knowledge to practicing
synthetic chemists and students, along with the tools needed to
synthesize new and useful molecules.
