One of the most complex and intriguing branches of organic chemistry, this study includes interesting theological implications as well as a wide diversity of synthetic procedures. It is important in almost all aspects of organic chemistry and involved in medicinal chemistry, and biochemistry. Brown (chemistry, Australian National U.) has updated outdated and alternative nomenclature and aligned over 2000 reviews with current research, complete with diagrams. Each of the reviews at least includes a representative collection of original references to the particular system along was some discussion depending upon the system involved. Each review also includes cross-references of previous reviews. The result is an encyclopedic review of heterocyclic systems for students and professionals.

The Cumulative Index of Systems Reviewed in the Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds is a collection of data for the approximately 2700 systems reviewed therein that serves as a useful guide to locating information in this well established and reputable series. The Cumulative Index also contains a complete list of books in the series showing author(s), title, date of publication, and all chapter headings. It is useful to professionals and advanced graduate students in synthetic organic chemistry, in academia, government, and industries including pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and agriculture.
