This volume opens with two specialized reviews. The first covers 'Lamellarins: Isolation, activity and synthesis' a significant group of biologically active marine alkaloids and the second discusses 'Radical Additions to Pyridines, Quinolines and Isoquinolines'...read more

This introduction to heterocyclic chemistry emphasizes simple heteroaromatic systems, from whose study a basis can be laid for the analysis and rationalization of the chemistry of more complex heterocycles. The book should be of interest to intermediate and senior undergraduate students of chemistry and biochemistry and graduate students. (view table of contents)
