Handbook of Heterocyclic Chemistry

Heterocyclic chemistry is the largest of the classical divisions of organic chemistry. Heterocyclic compounds play a vital role in the metabolism of living cells. Their practical applications range from extensive clinical use to fields as diverse as agriculture, photography, biocide formulation and polymer science. Written by leading scholars and industry experts, the Handbook of Heterocyclic Chemistry contains more than 1500 clearly drawn structures and reactions. The highly systematic coverage given to the subject makes this one of the most authoritative single-volume accounts of modern heterocyclic chemistry available. * Provides a balanced, concise and informative account of heterocyclic chemistry * Written by leading scholars and industry experts * Illustrated throughout with thousands of clearly drawn chemical structures * The most authoritative one-volume account of modern heterocyclic chemistry available
