Pyran chemistry was reviewed in Volume 34 in our series in 1983 by J. Kuthan he and his group (J. Kuthan, P. Sebek and S. Bohm of the Prague Institute of Chemical Technology, Czech Republic) have now updated that overview. The present chapter follows on the corresponding thia-, selena-, and tellura-analogs, which appeared in Volume 59 of Advances in 1994.
