This review is from: Heterocyclic Chemistry (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

The original text is indeed one of the best introductory texts on heterocyclic chemistry available. The major aromatic heterocycles are well-covered. The discussion of nonaromatic heterocycles is limited. BE ADVISED that the version sold by amazon as "new" is actually an educational print on demand from an electronic source. The text is legible, but the graphic quality is unimpressive. Some pages are cropped poorly. A well-worn used copy would be much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heterocyclic Chemistry in a Nutshell, August 7, 2000

By

This review is from: Heterocyclic Chemistry (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

No organic chemist should be without it. This book contains everything you need to know about the preparation and subsequent reactions of heterocyclic ring structures from simple to complex, and from the common to the seldom seen.

The book is well organized and concise. An advanced chemistry degree is not needed to understand it. Individuals with B.S. degrees in chemistry and related sciences on up will find it useful.

The book has a substantial word of mouth following, which is how I came to purchase it. I am a patent attorney in the chemical arts and find reason to refer to it several times a week.
