From the Preface

Heterocyclic compounds constitute the largest group of organic compounds playing a central role in Organic Chemistry. Heterocycles have a wide range of applications namely as pharmaceuticals, as agrochemicals, as veterinary products, as polymers, as dyestuffs and as pigments. They are used as antioxidants and as corrosion inhibitors, among other applications. Therefore, an impressive amount of research work on Heterocyclic Chemistry has been developed making the compilation of the more relevant contributions very important.

The book Recent Research Developments in Heterocyclic Chemistry provides comprehensive reviews reporting the state of the art on selected topics. The book comprises chapters on the application of chiral aziridines in the design of biologically active compounds (Chapter 1), on the use of addition reactions to 2H-azirine imine bonds for the construction of nitrogen-containing heterocycles (Chapter 2) and an overview on recent developments in the synthesis of four- and three-membered ring heterocycles by radical cyclisations (Chapter 3). Contributions covering the use of pyrrole based catalysts in oxidation reactions with particular emphasis on metalloporphyrins catalysis (Chapter 4) and on the synthesis of heterocycle-fused C60 fullerenes (Chapter 5) are also included.

In our days, the development of more sustainable methodologies in synthetic organic chemistry is a very important target. Chapter 6 offers an overview on the progress of more sustainable methodologies for the synthesis of N- and S-based heterocycles. This compilation focuses on solvent free transformations, fluororous tag approaches and the use of water, ionic liquids, fluorinated fluids and supercritical CO2 as solvents.

The book also includes a chapter on the investigation of molecular structure and reactivity of selected families of heterocyclic compounds using matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy (Chapter 7). Illustrative examples of the application of the method to the study of thermally and photochemically induced conformational isomerization and tautomerization processes, ring-opening reactions and rearrangements are presented.

The final chapter is focused on NMR techniques, an essential tool for structural characterization of heterocyclic compounds. The main 1H, 13C and 15N NMR features of three- to six-membered heterocyclic compounds and the application of several 1D and 2D NMR techniques in the structural elucidation of these compounds are discussed.

What is offered to the readers is the result of the work and expertise of all the authors of each specific chapter. The editors are highly indebted for their availability and efforts to lay down their excellent pieces of work. ... Read more

good for the money
This book is full of useful info and actually reality checked the boss at our shop on things that we were doing wrong or could improve on. I'm happy that the book was cheap ... only [...] bucks... and that it gives practice test questions with answers and explanations on why. We will just have to see if its accurate to the c1 test in november!

Excellent Study Tool - Helped me Pass my ASE Exam the First Time
This book is a great resource for anyone taking this ASE Exam!I studied from this text alone, and was able to pass my exam the first time!All of the sample questions & ASE test taking tips really helped prepare me for my exam.

Great Resource! Great Value!
It's a great resource, easy to read through, easy to carry, provides great value for the $$ and I feel more confident in taking the upcoming ASE.
I saw these are available in Spanish too. Some of my coworkers might find preparation easier because of the language conversion. ... Read more

Medical Resident Physicain: 5MCC is pertinent and efficient
Perspective: As a medical resident of Internal Medicine as well as Pediatrics, I am often hard pressed for time and in need of information that is succinct, yet reliably complete. I have found 5MCC to be just suchan outstanding resource.

Content: While not inclusive of everydisorder/condition, 5MCC has focussed on both the common as well as theserious illnesses that a physician needs to be efficient andeffective.

Organization: The "single-spread" layout is awelcome sight to anyone who wants to get to the point without wadingthrough pages and pages. Iconic references allow quick identification oftopic sections. Consistent organization lends to systematic study andmemorization.

Application: I find this reference perfect to brush up on atopic I haven't recently encountered (in study or practice). It is a goodreference to cross reference differential diagnoses and confirmcompleteness in an initial patient work-up. I have used this book ininpatient and outpatient settings, as well as for telephonetriage.

Evaluation: I give this text my highest recommendation. ... Read more
