Heterocyclic Chemistry by Malcolm Sainsbury

This book deals with the fundamental chemistry of fully saturated and unsaturated 4-, 5- and 6-membered heterocycles. The principal focus is those compounds containing a single nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atom and by restricting discussion to these, a balanced treatment is possible. The book introduces a selection of important heterocyclic compounds and the vital role that they play in life, medicine and industry. Conformational aspects of heterocyclic chemistry, aromatic stabilization, nomenclature, reaction mechanisms and methods of synthesis are also discussed. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major series consisting of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic principles underlying a given subject, embodying an independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.

".. well presented, and the diagrams are clear and instructive ... The book would serve very well as the textbook for an introductory course on heterocyclic chemistry ..."

* J Chem Soc Perkin Transactions 1, No 3, 7 February 2002, p 445-446 *

"... very readable ... a very fine textbook that a teacher planning to offer an undergraduate course in heterocycle chemistry should consider adopting."

* Journal of Chemical Education, Vol 79, No 9, September 2002, p 1073-1074 *

"I would thoroughly recommend this book for consideration by undergraduates, majoring in Chemistry, it is targeted to the key issues, explains facts well and is at a competitive price."
