Hardbound. The publication of this volume covers current work on the syntheses and reactions of pyridines, quinolines and isoquinolines. Also included are chapters (chapters 28, 30, 31 and 32) which review recent progress in the chemistry of the pyridine, quinoline and isoquinoline alkaloids. The theoretical aspects of pyridine chemistry, which were covered in a separate chapter (chapter 23) in the 2nd Edition, are now incorporated into a separate single chapter (chapter 24), without division.Recent developments in the chemistry of six-membered heterocycles containing a single phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, or bismuth atom are also surveyed. Once again, the reader of Rodd will find this volume extremely valuable since it provides a concise, yet complete, survey of a major subject area of heterocyclic chemistry.
