Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry: Electrophilic Substitution of Heterocycles: Quantitative Aspects (Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, 47)

(from preface)Volume 47 of Advances in Heterocyciic Chemistry is, unlike most volumes, a monograph and deals with the quantitative aspects of electro-philic substitution of heterocycles. It is written by Roger Taylor of the University of Sussex, Brighton, England, and your editor with one chapter contributed by Ross Grimmett of the University of Otago in New Zealand. It is hoped that this survey of the whole area of electrophilic substitution of heterocycles, covering as it does semiqualitative as well as completely quantitative aspects, will be of considerable help to workers in the field.As is normal for volumes of our series, no subject index is included. Instead, there is a very detailed contents from which we believe it will be possible to track down most points. Of course, this volume will be indexed in Volume 51. which will be the next ''index volume'' of the series and will cover Volumes 46-50, just as Volume 46 covered Volumes 41-45 and Volume 40 covered Volumes 1-40.

Each volume contains an index and each chapter includes references. The compounds covered play a vital role in many fields. Acetylenic derivatives of pyrazole have aroused great interest in recent years owing to their wide variety of biological and pharmacological properties (72IZV 2524; 93MIP1; 96BMCL797; 99BMCL979; 99USP5925769).
