The compounds covered in this volume play a role in many fields - heterocyclic intermediates are being widely used in organic synthesis, while heterocyclic compounds are found in the field of biology. Carbohydrates, chlorophyll, and heme are all heterocyclic.

Established in 1960, Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry is the definitive serial in the area-one of great importance to organic chemists, polymer chemists, and most biological scientists. Every fifth volume ofAdvances in Heterocyclic Chemistry contains a cumulative subject index.
