A reference that describes all of the important syntheses and reactions of oxazoles and oxazolones published through the first quarter of l984. Emphasizes the use of oxazoles as synthetic reagents as well as presenting the more classical treatments of oxazole chemistry. Contains the only extensive list of tables of oxazole derivatives and the most complete list of spectroscopic properties of oxazoles. Offers the most detailed treatment of mesoionic oxazoles including syntheses, specroscopy and reactions.

The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds series attempts to make the extraordinarily complex and diverse field of heterocyclic chemistry as organized and readily accessible as possible, presenting a basic reference collection for practicing researchers. Volume 60, Oxazoles: Synthesis, Reactions, and Spectroscopy, Part A proves the sole comprehensive resource on the synthetic chemistry of oxazoles–heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen and oxygen, specifically five-membered, unsaturated rings. Oxazoles have a wide variety of applications in synthetic organic chemistry and have been found in numerous natural products such as hennoxazole, thiangazole, calyculin, halicondrins, pyrenolide, virginiamycin, amphotericin, and phorboxazoles. This volume provides an authoritative review of the literature since 1983, highlights compounds of commerical importance, and includes in-depth coverage of the synthesis, reactions, and spectroscopic and physical properties for each class of compounds. It also discusses in detail the exciting developments on the use of chiral bioxazolines in asymmetric synthesis.

Synthesis, Reactions, and Spectroscopy presents a comprehensive review of the literature from 1983 to the present covering oxazoles, mesoionic oxazoles, oxazolones, oxazolines, and chiral bisoxazolines. In-depth coverage includes synthesis, reactions, spectroscopic and physical properties for each class of compounds, as well as important developments related to the use of those compounds.

The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, since its inception, has been recognized as a cornerstone of heterocyclic chemistry. Each volume attempts to discuss all aspects – properties, synthesis, reactions, physiological and industrial significance – of a specific ring system. To keep the series up-to-date, supplementary volumes covering the recent literature on each individual ring system have been published. Many ring systems (such as pyridines and oxazoles) are treated in distinct books, each consisting of separate volumes or parts dealing with different individual topics. With all authors are recognized authorities, the Chemistry of Heterocyclic Chemistry is considered worldwide as the indispensable resource for organic, bioorganic, and medicinal chemists.
