Heterocyclic Chemistry (Tutorial Chemistry Texts, Volume 8)

Heterocyclic Chemistry deals with the fundamental chemistry of fully saturated and unsaturated 4-, 5- and 6-membered heterocycles. The principle focus is those compounds containing a single nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atom and by restricting discussion to these, a balanced treatment is possible. The book introduces a selection of important heterocyclic compounds and the vital role that they play in life, medicine and industry. Conformational aspects of heterocyclic chemistry, aromatic stabilization, nomenclature, reaction mechanisms and methods of synthesis are also discussed. This product is not available separately, it is only sold as part of a set. There are 750 products in the set and these are all sold as one entity.

Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major series consisting of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic principles underlying a given subject, embodying an independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples Introduction to heterocyclic chemistry Pyridine Benzopyridines Pyrylium salts, pyrans and pyrones Benzopyrylium salts, coumarins, chromones, flavonoids and related compounds Five-membered heterocycles containing one heteroatom : pyrrole, furan and thiophene Benzo[b]pyrrole, benzo[b]furan and benzo[b]thiophene Four-membered heterocycles containing a single nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atom. Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a series of short, single topic or modular texts, that focus on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses.
