Preface
The present volume is the third volume of a projected four-volume series. This
volume contains the following chapters: ."The Synthesis and Reactions of Pyrrole,
Pyrazole, Triazole, Indole, Indazole, and Benzotriazole Nucleosides and
Nucleotides," "The Synthesis, Reactions, and Properties of the 2'(3')-O-Aminoacyl
and Peptidyl Nucleosides and Nucleotides," "Syntheses and Reactions of Bicyclic
Heterocyclic Nucleosides and Nucleotides," "The Synthesis and Chemistry of
Imidazole and Benzimidazole Nucleosides and Nucleotides," and "The Chemistry of
C-Nucleosides."
Each chapter is comprehensive in nature and should provide a ready reference
source for not only the novice but also the experienced investiga tor or researcher.
The chapters have been prepared by authors with considerable experience in each
particular area of research, and this has resulted in a lucid presentation of each
well-defined area.
These volumes (1-3) were designed with medicinal chemists, medicinal organic
chemists, organic chemists, carbohydrate chemists, physical chemists, and biological
chemists in mind. However, because of the tremendous recent interest in this
research area owing to the biological and chemotherapeutic evaluation ofnucleosides
and nucleotides as anticancer, antiviral, and antiparasitic agents, these volumes
should also be valuable additions to the libraries of virologists, biochemical phar
macologists, oncologists, and pharmacologists.
We would like to thank the authors for their enthusiasm and help in making
these volumes available to the scientific community.
