Nitrogen heterocycles are arguably the most important group of heterocyclic organic compounds occurring in nature, associated as they are with both respiratory (e.g. haemoglobin) and photosynthetic (e.g. chlorophyll) pigments. The chemistry of nitrogen heterocycles continues to be an active area of research in organic chemistry, while continuing to attract significant interest from the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.

Nitrogen heterocycles are arguably the most important group of heterocyclic organic compounds occurring in nature, associated as they are with both respiratory (e.g. haemoglobin) and photosynthetic (e.g. chlorophyll) pigments. The chemistry of nitrogen heterocycles continues to be an active area of research in organic chemistry, while continuing to attract significant interest from the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. This series aims to provide contributions on topics of interest to those active in the field, while highlighting those areas of wider interest to the organic, bio-organic and biochemical research communities. Volume 2 contains articles on four-, five- and six-membered nitrogen heterocycles. It includes chapters on such topics as nucleophilic addition reactions to the -carbon in -lactams (azetidinones), pyrroles and pyridine chemistry.
