Heterocyclic compounds include all nucleic acids, many vitamins, sugars, hormones, antibiotics and other synthetic pharmaceuticals, most dyes, pesticides and weedkillers. This major reference work is the most authoritative, modern and comprehensive ever published on the subject. It gives an up-to-date overview of the whole area appropriate to the needs of researchers, teachers and others with a general interest in the subject and its applications. It also provides other detailed information to answer specific questions, demonstrates exactly what is known or not known on a given topic, and directs attention to more detailed reviews and to the original literature. A systematic arrangement of all chapters provides a uniform treatment throughout and allows very easy access to the primary literature.

'The eight volumes provide chemists, and biologists working at the chemical interface, with an impressive body of collected knowledge which is not available from any other source. Chemistry libraries cannot afford to be without this series.' Nature. 'This series does provide a welcome addition to the field of heterocyclic chemistry and indeed it is a tribute to the series and volume editors that there seems to be a definite uniformity throughout. This series is definitely recommended as an addition to all libraries.' Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Alan R. Katritzky
Alan Katritzky was educated at Oxford and has held faculty positions at Cambridge and East Anglia before he migrated in 1980 to the University of Florida, where he was Kenan Professor and Director for the Institute for Heterocyclic Compounds. During his career he has trained more than 1000 graduate students and post-docs, and lectured and consulted world-wide. He led the team, which produced “Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry” and its sequels, "CHEC-II" and "CHEC-III”, has edited “Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, Vols. 1 through 111” and conceived the plan for “Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformations”. He founded Arkat-USA, a non-profit organization which publishes “Archive for Organic Chemistry” (ARKIVOC) an electronic journal completely free to authors and readers at (www.arkat-usa.org). Honors include 14 honorary doctorates from 11 countries and membership of foreign membership of the National Academies of Britain, Catalonia, India, Poland, Russia and Slovenia.
