Heterocycles: Synthesis, Catalysis, Sustainability, and Characterization

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.
