There are three main classes of heterocycles that can be classified rmder this heading. These are heterocycles with three nitrogen atoms and with two nitrogen atoms in addition to one oxygen or sulfur atom. 

Furthermore, the strongly metallic character of selenium weakens the C-Se bond and thus favors reactions involving opening of the ring. The basicity of the three heterocycles is approximately in the same order, the nitrogen atom of selenazole and thiazole possessing much the same properties as the heteroatom of pyridine. Of the two carbon atoms ortho to nitrogen, that is, the 2-carbon and the 4-carbon, only the one in the 2-position is fairly active as a result of its interaction with selenium or sulfur. The 4- and 5-positions of thiazole and selenazole are more susceptible to electrophilic substitution than the 3- and 5-positions of pyridine. This is particularly true of the 5-position of selenazole. Thus it can be said that the 2- and 5-positions of the selenazoles and thiazoles... 

The [5,5]-fused bicyclic ring system with one fusion nitrogen atom and three additional heteroatoms in a 2 1 distribution over both ffve-membered rings (2N1) is the origin of a great number of structures. The additional heteroatoms are mainly nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, and less commonly phosphorus or silicon atoms.
