Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry

This is the seventeenth annual volume of Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry , which covers the important issue of heterocyclic ring systems. Dennis Wright covers Furans as Versatile Synthons for Target-Oriented and Diversity-Oriented Synthesis; and John Hepworth and Mark Heron discuss 'The Synthesis and Photochromic Properties of Naphthopyrans'. The remaining chapters explain the size and the heteroatoms present.

* Includes new contributions from experts in the field
* Covers literature published during 2004 on most important heterocyclic ring systems
* Presents reviews on Versatile Synthons for Target-Oriented and Diversity-Oriented Synthesis; and Synthesis and Photochromic Properties of Naphthopyrans
