“My recommendation is, even if you already have the 4th edition, to buy the latest version. At only £39.95 for the paperback version this is outstanding value for money. (Organic Process Research & Development Journal, 2010)

Overall, this book is recommended as a text forundergraduate and more advanced students on this pervasive,important, and underappreciated topic in chemistry. (Journal of Chemical Education, 1 October 2012) The work seems most valuable as a resource for researchers inthe area, especially the detailed discussions that classifyspecific reactions ... recommended. Chemistry collections servingupper-division undergraduates and above. (Choice, 1 February2011) The fifth edition is a high-quality book, which represents avery valuable and concise source of information about heterocyclicchemistry. In the covered topics the book provides as a textbook anew gold standard... Due to the modern aspects it will be acompulsory reading for synthetically oriented chemists working inthe field of heterocyclic chemistry. (Synthesis, February2011) This excellent book is well written, heavily referenced, andthoroughly indexed. Accordingly, it serves as both an instructionalheterocyclic chemistry textbook and a portal to the primarysynthetic chemistry literature. (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry,2011) My favourite chapter is the organometallic chemistry thatpresents an up-to-date treatment of the topic and helps confirms acolleague's observation that With today's techniques one canbe convinced that a modern organic chemist can make any smallmolecule he or she desires.' I particularly like the treatment ofthe concatenation of five-membered ring systems, an increasinglyimportant area in medicinal chemistry. This chapter proves a real coup de grace'.

My favourite chapter is the organometallic chemistry that presents an up-to-date treatment of the topic and helps confirms a colleague's observation that ‘With today's techniques one can be convinced that a modern organic chemist can make any small molecule he or she desires.' I particularly like the treatment of the concatenation of five-membered ring systems, an increasingly important area in medicinal chemistry. This chapter proves a real ‘coup de grace'.
