Description
Book SynopsisCarbohydrates are widely distributed in nature and widely available, and so are considered as a promising feedstock for the preparation of many organic chemical compounds. They are particularly useful in the preparation of nitrogen heterocycles because of their related structural characteristics and easy availability.
Trade Review"The book is well organised and consists of 6 chapters, each of which is devoted to a particular class of nitrogen heterocycles ... .The book provides the reader with a wealth of detail on each synthesis, with the schemes "supported" by as much detail as could be expected on the experimental conditions used. Overall the book is a valuable source of information for those involved in the synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles and with a wealth of information and good indexes" [This book is] Recommended if you are involved in the field."

"The authors have done a wonderful job of collating and making sense of this diverse area of chemical literature. In summary, this is a superb book. I am unlikely to read whole chapters in a single sitting, but I will be browsing if for years to come, learning something new every time. Everyone who is interested in the synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles should have access to this book." Mark Elliot , Lecturer in Organic Chemistry at the School of Chemistry, Cardiff University, UK
"The volume represents an enormous amount of synthetic work that is very carefully reviewed on more than 420 pages."
