Heterocycles in Natural Product Synthesis

16Filling a gap on the market, this handbook and ready reference is unique in its discussion of the usefulness of various heterocyclic systems in the synthesis of natural products.Clearly structured for easy access to the information, each chapter is devoted to a certain class of heterocycle, providing a tabular presentation of the natural products to be covered containing the particular heterocyclic ring system along with their biological profile, occurrence and most important physical properties, backed by the appropriate references. In addition, the application of the heterocyclic system to the synthesis of natural products is covered in detail.Of great interest to organic, natural products, medicinal and biochemists, as well as those working in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industry. There is an unbelievably large number of various heterocycles found in natural products. The synthesis of these compounds has always been a fascinating topic in organic chemistry, mainly bec16ause many of them are used in pharmaceutical and agrochemical active substances.Filling a gap on the market, this handbook and ready reference is the first to discuss the usefulness of various heterocyclic systems in the synthesis of natural products. It is clearly structured for easy access to the information, with each chapter devoted to a certain class of heterocycle. For every natural product covered, a tabular presentation contains the particular heterocyclic ring system along with its biological profile, occurrence and most important physical properties, all supported by the appropriate references. In addition, the application of the heterocyclic system to the synthesis of natural products is covered in detail.With its unique perspective and wealth of information, this is indispensable to organic, natural products, medicinal and biochemists, as well as those working in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industry.04IntroductionSTRAINED HETEROCYLCES IN THE SYNTHESIS OF NATURAL PRODUCTSAziridine and its derivativesAzetidine and its derivativesCOMMON RING HETEROCYCLES IN NATURAL PRODUCT SYNTHESISFuran and its derivativesPyrrole and its derivativesThiophene, selenophene and their derivativesPyran and its derivativesPyridine and its derivativesCarbazole and its derivative Oxazole and its derivativesThiazole and its derivativesOther polyheterocyclic systemsNATURAL PRODUCTS CONTAINING MEDIUM RING-SIZED HETEROCYCLIC SYSTEMSLARGE RING HETEROCYCLIC NATURAL PRODUCTS
