Supplement to the Second Edition of Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds Vol. IV : Heterocyclic Compounds

Hardbound. At a time when there are many specialist reviews, monographs and reports available, there is still an important place for a book such as Rodd which gives a broader coverage of organic chemistry. One aspect of the value of this work is that it allows an expert in one field to find out quickly what is happening in other fields of chemistry. On the other hand, a chemist looking for the way into a field of study will find within Rodd an outline of the important aspects of that area of chemistry, together with leading references to other works which provide more detailed information.

The appearance of this volume almost completes the supplementation of the second edition. Only the publication of the supplement to Volume IV IJ (which is now in preparation) is pending.

1996 This new volume of "Rodd" continues to be a major service to organic

chemistry...The chapters are uniformly well written and remarkably free from

errors, both in the text, and in the structures...It is obvious that a great

deal of common sense has gone into producing this series, which serves as a

model for other lesser works...they should be a standard component of any good organic chemical library.

-- Philip D. Magnus, The University of Texas at Austin, Journal of the American Chemical Society

The wide overview, equipped of literature references up to 1988, makes this book an important landmark for the chemists who are interested in the fields of heterocyclic compounds. -- Inorganica Chimica Acta
