About this document
Overview of Heterocyclic Compounds by nasibdin is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Heterocyclic compounds contain rings with at least two different elements, with at least one being carbon. Common examples include nucleic acids, amino acids, chlorophyll, alkaloids like caffeine and nicotine, and many pharmaceutical drugs. Heterocyclic rings can be stable with 5-7 atoms but are less stable with fewer or more atoms. Classification is based on the heteroatoms present and whether the compound is saturated or unsaturated.
