Amino Acids: Insights and Roles in Heterocyclic Chemistry Taylor & Francis Ltd

Discusses two types of simple heterocycles that can be prepared from a-amino acids, i.e., azlactones (also known as oxazolones, 4-unsaturated azlactones included) and oxazolidin-5-ones. These heterocyclic compounds behave differently in both biological and chemical properties, and their biological activities are presented in a well-organized manner in this volume....
