Aromatic Heterocyclic Chemistry

This is a truly excellent slim volume ... and will serve as a useful springboard between homocyclic aromatic chemistry and the more advanced works on heterocyclic chemistry.'R.M. Scrowston! Education in Chemistry! July 1993. Zusammenfassung Heterocyclic compounds are of prime importance to organic chemists working in the chemical industry! and heterocyclic chemistry is therefore a fundamental topic in undergraduate chemistry courses. The emphasis of this short text is on synthetic aspects rather than properties! and it covers the essential details and basic principles with reference to all the important classes of heterocyclic compounds. Instructional problems are included as an aid to comprehension!and references to more detailed texts are provided.
