<b>This book has so closely matched the requirements of its readership over the years that it has become the first choice for chemists worldwide.</b><p>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.</p><p>The fifth edition of <i>Heterocyclic Chemistry</i> 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.</p><p>Fully updated and expanded to reflect important 21<sup>st</sup> century advances, the fifth edition of this classi
