Heteroatom Chemistry

"A knowledge of heterocyclic chemistry is useful in biosynthesis and in drug metabolism as well. Nucleic acids are important in biological processes of heredity and evolution. There are a large number of synthetic heterocyclic compounds with additional important applications and many are valuable intermediates in synthesis. This collection comprehensively discuss the properties, synthetic methods, emerging applications, and the present status of various aspects of this important topic to assist a better understanding of heteroatom materials. Heterocyclic compounds occur widely in nature and in a variety of non-naturally occurring compounds. A large number of heterocyclic compounds are essential to life.
