Abstract

Heterocyclic chemistry is a branch of chemistry that mainly consists of heteroatoms, such as sulfur, phosphorus, oxygen, nitrogen, etc., in a ring other than a carbon atom. An element (such as S, O, N, P, etc.) other than the carbon atom (C) must be present in the ring. Prefix hetero refers to such a class of compounds that is noncarbocyclic or simply regarded as heterocyclic compounds. Although heterocyclic compounds resemble the structure of the carbocyclic ring, they exhibit different chemical as well as physical behavior compared with the carbocyclic ring.
