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.

Drawing from over 2,500 papers, this volume eliminates the need for time-consuming literature surveys for pyrimidines from 1970 through 1983. Chapters summarize the major advances in pyrimidine chemistry, detail advances in methods of primary synthesis of pyrimidines, update all aspects of hydropyrimidines, and treat recent advances in the ionization and spectra of pyrimidines.

Transition Metal-Catalyzed Pyrimidine Synthesis: Transition Metal-Catalyzed Heterocycle Synthesis Series provides an overview of pyrimidine, describing properties of these heterocycle compounds and the traditional synthetic procedures used for them. The book then explores catalyzed procedures for pyrimidine synthesis in greater detail and depth than is currently available in published review articles. This volume is part of the short series authored by Xiao-Feng Wu that summarizes recent achievements on heterocycle synthesis with transition metals as catalysts, with each volume dedicated to one heterocycle compound. - Offers a brief, focused review of the active research in pyrimidine synthesis via transition metal catalysis - Provides useful coverage of pyrimidine properties and both intermolecular and intramolecular cyclization - Volume Three in Elsevier's short work series, Transition Metal-Catalyzed Heterocycles Synthesis - Provides greater detail and depth than is currently available in published review articles

Practical Heterocyclic Chemistry focuses on experiments, methodologies, processes, reactions, and transformations involved in practical heterocyclic chemistry. The manuscript first offers information on five-membered systems containing one heteroatom and benzoderivatives of five-membered systems containing one heteroatom, including 2,5 – dimethylpyrrole, 2,5 – dimethylthiophen, carbazole, indigotin, and 2-phenylindole. The text then elaborates on five-membered systems containing more than one heteroatom and benzoderivatives of five-membered systems containing more than one heteroatom, as well as benzimidazole, benzotriazole, and 2,4,5 – triphenyloxazole. The publication ponders on six-membered systems containing one heteroatom and benzoderivatives of six-membered systems containing one heteroatom. Discussions focus on 4-nitropyridine N-oxide, 6-chloroquinoline, 2-methyl-4-quinolone, and xanthone. The manuscript is highly recommended for chemists and readers interested in practical heterocyclic chemistry.
