Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Nitrogen Heterocycles from Carbohydrates - El Ashry, El Sayed H. (Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt) a El Nemr, Ahmed (National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Kayet Bay, Alexandria, Egypt)

Carbohydrates are widely distributed in nature and widely available, and so are considered as a promising feedstock for the preparation of many organic chemical compounds. They are particularly useful in the preparation of nitrogen heterocycles because of their related structural characteristics and easy availability.
