Wel -Come Heterocyclic Compounds
Dr. Lamture S.V. Head & Asso.Prof. Department of Chemistry .
Heterocycles Ring compounds with elements other than carbon in the ring. The most common elements to appear in heterocyclic compounds are oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. The aliphatic heterocycles are similar to the open chain analogues, ethers, amines and sulfides. The aromatic heterocycles are similar to other aromatic compounds.
Heterocyclic Nomenclature Replacement nomenclature (IUPAC recommended 1957) Oxygen oxa Sulfur thia Nitrogen aza Lowest number assigned to the hetero atom with the highest precedence: O > S > N NH S O thiacyclobutane 1-oxa-3-azacyclopentane
