This book has so closely matched the requirements of its readership over the years that it has become the first choice for chemists worldwide. Heterocyclicchemistry comprises at least half of all organic chemistry research worldwide. In particular, the vast majority of organic work done in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries is heterocyclic chemistry. The fifth edition of Heterocyclic Chemistry maintains the principal objective of earlier editions - to teach the fundamentals of heterocyclic reactivityand synthesis in a way that is understandable to second- and third-year undergraduate chemistry students. The inclusion of more advanced and current material also makes the book a valuable reference text for postgraduate taught courses, postgraduate researchers, and chemists at all levels working with heterocyclic compounds in industry. Fully updated and expanded to reflect important 21st century advances, thefifth edition of this classic text includes the following innovations: Extensive use of colour to highlight changes in structure and bonding during reactions; Entirely new chapters on organometallic heterocyclic chemistry, heterocyclic natural products, especially in biochemical processes, and heterocycles in medicine; New sections focusing on heterocyclic fluorine compounds, isotopically labeled heterocycles, and solid-phase chemistry, microwave heating and flowreactors in the heterocyclic context. Essential teaching material in the early chapters is followed by short chapters throughout the text which capture the essence of heterocyclic reactivityin concise resumés suitable as introductions or summaries, for example for examination preparation. Detailed, systematic discussions cover the reactivity and synthesis of all the important heterocyclic systems. Original references and references to reviews are given throughout the text, vital for postgraduate teaching and for research scientists. Problems, divided into straightforward revision exercises, and more challenging questions (with solutions available online), help the reader to understand and apply the principles of heterocyclic reactivity and synthesis. John Joule is Emeritus Professor in the School of Chemistry, The University of Manchester, UK. Keith Mills spent 25 years in the Medicinal Chemistry and Development Chemistry departments at GlaxoSmithKline, Stevenage, UK, and is now an independentconsultant. INDICE: Preface.
