The World of Heterocyclic Compounds

• Heterocyclic compounds have at least one heteroatom in the ring.
• More than half of known organic compounds are heterocyclic.
• They are widely distributed in nature and important for life processes.
• Examples include nucleic acid bases, hemoglobin, vitamins, and drugs.
• Research focuses on methods of synthesis and studying their properties.
• Aromatic heterocycles have a heteroatom replacing at least one carbon in benzene.
• Other analogous heterocycles have multiple carbon atoms replaced by heteroatoms.
• Examples include pyridazine, pyrimidine, and pyrazine.
• Triazines and tetrazines are also examples of heterocycles.
• Heterocycles have diverse applications in various fields.
