Science of Synthesis: Houben-Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations Vol. 9: Fully Unsaturated Small-Ring Heterocycles and Monocyclic Five-Membered Hetarenes with One Heteroatom

Science of Synthesis is a quality reference work developed by a highly esteemed editorial board to provide a comprehensive and critical selection of reliable organic and organometallic synthetic methods. Science of Synthesis is designed to be the first point of reference when searching for a synthesis strategy.

This volume covers the synthesis of three- and four-membered heterocycles with maximum unsaturation and of five-membered hetarenes with one oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, nitrogen, or phosphorus atom. Maximum unsaturation means that the ring does not contain either an sp3-hybridized carbon atom or a heteroatom incapable of pi-conjugation. Some compounds which are derivatives of such ring systems but no longer feature maximum unsaturation are also included.
