Syntheses of Peri-Annelated Heterocycles

Volume 51 of Advances consists of three chapters, V. V. Mezheritskii and V. V. Tkachenko (Rostov-on-Don, U.S.S.R.) review the synthesis of peri-annelated heterocycles, a large and interesting class which has not previously been treated in a systematic fashion. R. M. Acheson (Oxford, U.K.) provides the first detailed survey of 1-hydroxypyrroles and their benzo derivatives, compounds which show an interesting and unusual chemistry. Finally, B. A. Trofimov (Irkutsk, U.S.S.R.) describes the minifold preparative possibility for pyrroles from ketoximes and acetylenes, a reaction discovered by Trofimov and developed by him into a most important entry into pyrrole chemistry.
