Book Description
ordering system according to the ring size of the heterocycles has been retained, while the important chapter on ‘Problems and their Solutions’ has been almost completely renewed by introduction of up-to-date scientific exercises, resulting in a great tool for self-testing and exams. There was maintained a chapter on nomenclature and a helpful index of name reactions. With approximately 1,000 new literature citations, this book remains a brilliant gateway to modern heterocyclic science for master and graduate students, as well as PhDs and researchers entering the field.
‘If you want quick information about the basic (or acidic!) properties of a heterocycle, some interesting facts, or an assorted few ways of making
it, this book provides a welcoming, accurate, and concise introduction.’

‘Eicher and Hauptmann provide an up to date introduction to the field for the advanced undergraduate and graduate students. … The book is carefully produced to a very high standard.’

About the Author
Siegfried Hauptmann studied chemistry at the University of Leipzig. In 1958, he obtained his Ph.D. under Wilhelm Treibs, habilitated in the field of organic chemistry in 1961 and became Assistant Professor and later Full Professor at the University of Leipzig. He was retired in 1996. His research interests were centred predominantly to the field of synthetic organic chemistry and reaction mechanisms. Professor Hauptmann was author and co-author of several books and deceased in April, 2011.
Andreas Speicher studied chemistry at Saarland University, Saarbrucken. He obtained his Ph.D. in 1994 under Theophil Eicher and was honoured with the Eduard-Martin-Award of his University. He started his independent scientific career and completed habilitation in 2003 (Privatdozent). He is head of a research group and university lecturer for organic chemistry at the Saarland University and was appointed extraordinary professor in 2011. He is temporary holding a guest professorship at the University of Strasbourg/France since 2006 and is co-author of several books. His research interests are directed to synthesis and characterization of chemically and biologically relevant natural products, especially to axially chiral macrocyclic compounds.
