Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is divided into six chapters, describing radical cyclization routes to pyrrolidines, and illustrating some of the significant recent advances which have arisen from the application of radical chemistry to heterocycles. Two chapters deal with the increasing influence in heterocyclic chemistry of unusual heteroatoms firstly: surveying the chemistry of tellurium containing heterocycles with two heteroatoms; secondly: summarizing the influence of metals on the reactivity of heterocyclic ligands. The chemistry of highly electron deficient nitrogen heterocycles containing carbonyl groups is covered and the final two chapters both deal with aspects of the electrophilic substitution of heterocycles.
