Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds: Heterocyclic Compounds, Part C 5 Membered Heterocyclic Compounds With 2 Hetero Atoms in the Ring (Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds 2nd Edition)

The planning and editing of the second edition of Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds was undertaken by Dr. S. Coffey, who sadly did not see the completion of the project. This volume, the first of the second edition to be published since his death, includes a tribute to Dr Coffey written by Dr. Malcolm Bruce, which was inserted in the Supplement III BC. At the time of Dr Coffey's death four volumes, IVC, D, I and J, remained to be commissioned and published. The contents of this volume, IVC, and its companion, IVD, follow the plan devised by Dr. Coffey and cover five-membered heterocyclic compounds containing two or more hetero-atoms. This volume contains compounds of this class with two hetero-atoms and Volume IVD covers compounds with three or more hetero-atoms. This volume has been written by Dr. Malcolm Sainsbury and Dr. Raymond Theobold who have achieved a very fine review of the newer material which has been carefully integrated with the older material of the first edition. The book will provide a valuable guide to all those seeking their way among the more complex five-membered heterocyclic systems.
