Moore and Rita Seelig Ayers Chapter 2 The Synthesis of the ??Lactam Function (pages 219–441): Gary A. Koppel Chapter 3 Four?Membered Rings Containing two Nitrogenc Heteroatoms (pages 443–545): Reinhard Richter and Henri Ulrich Chapter 4 Diaziridines, 3H?Diazirines, Diaziridinones, and Diaziridinimines (pages 547–628): Harold W. Heine The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, since its inception, has been recognized as a cornerstone of heterocyclic chemistry. Each volume attempts to discuss all aspects – properties, synthesis, reactions, physiological and industrial significance – of a specific ring system. To keep the series up-to-date, supplementary volumes covering the recent literature on each individual ring system have been published. Many ring systems (such as pyridines and oxazoles) are treated in distinct books, each consisting of separate volumes or parts dealing with different individual topics. With all authors are recognized authorities, the Chemistry of Heterocyclic Chemistry is considered worldwide as the indispensable resource for organic, bioorganic, and medicinal chemists. One of a series on the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds - a complex branch of organic chemistry, but also an interesting one for its theoretical implications, for the diversity of its synthetic procedures, and for the physiological and industrial significance of heterocyclic compounds.
