Covers important name reactions relevant to heterocyclic chemistry
The field of heterocyclic chemistry has long presented a special challenge for chemists. Because of the enormous amount and variety of information, it is often a difficult topic to cover for undergraduate and graduate chemistry students, even in simplified form. Yet the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds and methods for their synthesis form the bedrock of modern medicinal chemical and pharmaceutical research. Thus there is a great need for high quality, up-to-date, and authoritative books on heterocyclic synthesis helpful to both the professional research chemist as well as the advanced student.
Name Reactions in Heterocyclic Chemistry provides a one-stop repository for this important field of organic chemistry. The primary topics include three- and four-membered heterocycles, five-membered heterocycles including indoles, furans, thiophenes, and oxazoles, six-membered heterocycles including quinolines, isoquinolines, and pyrimidines, and other heterocycles.
Each name reaction is summarized in seven sections:
- Description
- Historical perspective
- Mechanism
- Variations and improvements
- Synthetic utility
- Experimental
- References
"...is not only an indispensable resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students....but also a good reference for all chemists interested in the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds…" (Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, No. 10, 2005)
"...a major contribution to the field and is highly recommended." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, June 30, 2005)
