Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Nitrogen Heterocycles from Carbonhydrates will review the recent literature dealing with use of carbohydrates as raw materials in the synthesis of these materials.

Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Nitrogen Heterocycles from Carbonhydrates features:

• detailed discussion of the various synthetic approaches to these compounds
• using carbohydrate starting materials
• does not merely reference synthetic methodology
• attempts to give as much detail as possible on the actual experimental conditions used
