Volume 71 of Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry consists of five chapters. In the first, Drs. D. Lloyd and H. McNab (St. Andrews and Edinburgh, Scotland) give an up-to-date treatment of 1,5-benzodiazepines. This subject was previously reviewed in 1974, but since then much new information has become available and a totally new approach was required. The second chapter by Professor El Ashry and Dr. N. Rashed of Alexandria University, Egypt, covers 1,2,3-triazolopyrim-idines, including the three different types of [l,5-a]-fused, [l,5-c]-fused, and [4,5-d]-fused compounds. All these bicycles have recently seen much activity, particularly in the search for therapeutic agents.
