Heterocycles

A must-read handbook on heterocycle chemistry with a focus on sustainability

Heterocycles feature prominently in our daily life - they are essential for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. More, numerous natural, bioactive products contain heterocyclic compounds. As a result, heterocyclic chemistry continues to be one of the most important areas of study in organic chemistry.

Heterocycles provides an important reference on a wide range of topics relating to heterocyclic chemistry, with a heavy emphasis on sustainable methods and greener syntheses. The book describes state-of-the-art synthetic methods, such as photochemical reactions, dearomatization reactions, organocatalysis, transition metal catalysis, and biocatalysis. It also covers: - Sustainable methods, like flow chemistry, mechanochemistry, and multicomponent synthesis - Strategies for the synthesis of heterocyclic macrocycles and medium-sized rings - Characterization of heterocyclic compounds

Heterocycles is a useful reference for organic chemists, natural products chemists, catalytic chemists, and medicinal chemists in academia and industry.
