Practical Heterocyclic Chemistry: A Lab Manual for Syntheses of Heterocycles delves into the entwined history of heterocyclic chemistry and general organic chemistry, tracing their evolution from crude isolation and utilization of bioactive natural products to their current, pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life for humanity and all living organisms. The book provides a concise overview of the enabling technologies and modern toolkits that facilitate complex general organic and heterocyclic syntheses, while also emphasizing the importance of safe and sustainable synthesis processes that are shaped by the game-changing principles of green chemistry.

Readers are also made aware of crucial safety considerations in laboratory practice, including hazard mitigation related to starting materials, products, solvents, catalysts, and lab equipment handling. The book covers the essential laboratory skills needed for experiment design, execution, isolation, purification, and characterization, serving as a valuable resource for modern heterocyclic synthesis in academia and industry.

V Balasubramaniyan received his PhD from Annamalai University, India. His post-doctoral training at the University of Notre Dame in Prof. Pasto’s group was followed at the University of Wyoming with Prof. Blatz. He was at MSU, MI (Spring 1983), and UW (Faculty, Summer 1983). Back in India in 1970, he established the graduate department of chemistry at HPT College, Nashik (affiliated to the University of Pune) and initiated independent research in heterocyclic chemistry supported by all major funding agencies of India (1970–1993). He received multiple best teacher awards, including the prestigious Prof Narasimhan award for best researcher. Since retirement, he continues his teaching and research as emeritus professor in medicinal chemistry focused on biological activities (1996–current). His publications have appeared in all major international journals. He is currently a visiting senior faculty with HBCSE, Mumbai.
