The second chapter concerns the tautomerism of five-membered ring systems with a single heteroatom concentrating mainly on pyrroles, furans, and thiophenes. It is authored by Professor W. Friedrichsen and Dr. T. Traulsen (University of Kiel, Germany) together with Drs. J. Elguero and A. R. Katritzky. 

A. B. Sheremetev and N. N. Makhova (N. D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, Moscow, Russia) and W. Friedrichsen (University of Kiel, Germany) have reviewed the monocyclic furazans and furoxans. While much of the early work in this area was published in the German and Italian literature, more recently, a large amount has appeared in Russian journals, much of it being released for publication only during the last ten years. This survey should be of great utility to Western readers.
