Synopsis

Provides an introduction to the complex chemistry of heterocycles and an overview of the many and varied applications of this versatile class of compounds. The only book to examine the multidisciplinary applications of heterocycles, it features descriptions of the impact of heterocyclic compounds in living organisms: in the structure of DNA, enzymes and proteins, vitamins and antibodies and their role in plants and animals. The use of the compounds in the chemical industry is also covered. It is written in non-technical language by top researchers and includes problems at the end of each chapter.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Heterocycles in Life and Society is an introduction to the complex chemistry of heterocyclic compounds, focusing on their occurrence in nature, biochemical significance and wide range of applications. Written in a readable and accessible style, this new text takes a multidisciplinary approach to this extremely important area of organic chemistry. Carefully structured, the text starts by looking at the chemistry, structure and properties of heterocycles and then goes on to cover their role in nature and their many and varied applications to science and industry. Heterocycles in Life and Society:
∗ Focuses on the importance of heterocycles in everyday life, and the roles they play.
∗ Includes many applications drawn from chemistry, biology, medicine and agriculture.
∗ Contains numerous problems drawn from a wide variety of scientific literature and suggestions for further reading.
∗ Is authored by three highly acclaimed researchers in heterocyclic chemistry, who have many years′ experience of teaching between them.
Primarily written for students in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, pharmacology, medicine and agriculture, it will also be invaluable to researchers working in the field of heterocyclic chemistry, and to other scientists wanting to learn more about this extremely important class of compounds.
