A Review on Heterocyclic Compounds

— In our day-to-day lives, heterocyclic compounds present several interesting challenges and opportunities. Heterocyclic compounds are characterized by the presence of one or more hetero atoms within the composition of the compound. They could have a cyclic or non-cyclic structure to them. There are several different fields in which heterocyclic compounds can be used. The majority of their applications are in the pharmaceutical, agricultural chemical, and veterinary products industries. They are also used as sanitizers, developers, antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, copolymers, and dyestuffs. Other applications include these. In the process of the synthesis of other organic compounds, they are utilized as vehicles. Some of the naturally occurring compounds, including antibiotics like penicillin and cephalosporin and alkaloids like vinblastine, morphine, and reserpine, amongst others, include a heterocyclic moiety.
