"Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry III" (CHEC-III) is a new 15-volume reference work which provides the first point of entry to the literature for all scientists interested in heterocyclic ring systems. Since publishing in 1984, "Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry" (CHEC) has become the standard work on the subject, indispensable to all serious readers in the interdisciplinary areas where heterocycles are employed."CHEC-III" builds on and complements the material in "CHEC" and "CHEC-II" and is designed to be used both alone and in conjunction with these two works. Written by leading scientists who have evaluated and summarized the most important data published over the last decade, "Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry III" will be an invaluable addition to the reference library of those working with heterocyclic ring systems. It reviews advances in the properties, structure, synthesis, reactivity and applications of the most important heterocyclic ring systems. It contains over 250 specialist reviews, logically organized by size and heteroatom content of the heterocyclic ring. It saves researchers valuable time and effort through carefully structured critical reviews of the literature by experts.
