Heterocyclic Chemistry (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This book has so closely matched the requirements of its readership over the years that it has become the first choice for chemists worldwide. Heterocyclic chemistry comprises at least half of all organic chemistry research worldwide. In particular, the vast majority of organic work done in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries is heterocyclic chemistry. The fifth edition of Heterocyclic Chemistry maintains the principal objective of earlier editions - to teach the fundamentals of heterocyclic reactivity and synthesis in a way that is understandable to second- and third-year undergraduate chemistry students. The inclusion of more advanced and current material also makes the book a valuable reference text for postgraduate taught courses, postgraduate researchers, and chemists at all levels working with heterocyclic compounds in industry. Fully updated and expanded to reflect important 21st century advances, the fifth edition of this classic text includes the following innovations: * Extensive use of colour to highlight changes in structure and bonding during reactions * Entirely new chapters on organometallic heterocyclic chemistry, heterocyclic natural products, especially in biochemical processes, and heterocycles in medicine * New sections focusing on heterocyclic fluorine compounds, isotopically labeled heterocycles, and solid-phase chemistry, microwave heating and flow reactors in the heterocyclic context Essential teaching material in the early chapters is followed by short chapters throughout the text which capture the essence of heterocyclic reactivity in concise resumés suitable as introductions or summaries, for example for examination preparation. Detailed, systematic discussions cover the reactivity and synthesis of all the important heterocyclic systems. Original references and references to reviews are given throughout the text, vital for postgraduate teaching and for research scientists. Problems, divided into straightforward revision exercises, and more challenging questions (with solutions available online), help the reader to understand and apply the principles of heterocyclic reactivity and synthesis.

Rezensionen

"This excellent book is well written, heavily referenced, and thoroughly indexed. Accordingly, it serves as both an instructional heterocyclic chemistry textbook and a portal to the primary synthetic chemistry literature." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2011)

"My favourite chapter is the organometallic chemistry that presents an up-to-date treatment of the topic and helps confirms a colleague's observation that 'With today's techniques one can be convinced that a modern organic chemist can make any small molecule he or she desires.' I particularly like the treatment of the concatenation of five-membered ring systems, an increasingly important area in medicinal chemistry. This chapter proves a real 'coup de grace'." (Reviews, December 2010)

"In summary, Heterocyclic Chemistry by Joule and Mills is in a class of its own and can be thoroughly recommended as supplementary reading for undergraduate courses and as a first port of call for researchers seeking a quick entry to the extensive heterocyclic literature." (Applied Organometallic Chemistry, 2010)

"My recommendation is, even if you already have the 4th edition, to buy the latest version. At only £39.95 for the paperback version this is outstanding value for money." (Organic Process Research & Development Journal, 2010)

"Overall, this book is recommended as a text for undergraduate and more advanced students on this pervasive, important, and underappreciated topic in chemistry." (Journal of Chemical Education, 1 October 2012)
