Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organic heterocycles are a broad but very important category of molecules. They are widely found in compounds of medicinal and agricultural use. Many of them are considered privileged structures. They are also biologically important, found in groups such as nucleic acids and carbohydrates, as well as many other natural products. They are, thus, important targets of synthetic chemistry. This Special Issue will focus on the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. Papers are welcomed that describe the synthesis of specific heterocycles, as well as papers that disclose methods or strategies that could be applied to heterocyclic synthesis. Papers may be articles, communications, or reviews.
Dr. Lee J. Silverberg
