Transition Metal-Catalyzed Pyrimidine Synthesis: Transition Metal-Catalyzed Heterocycle Synthesis Series provides an overview of pyrimidine, describing properties of these heterocycle compounds and the traditional synthetic procedures used for them. The book then explores catalyzed procedures for pyrimidine synthesis in greater detail and depth than is currently available in published review articles.

This volume is part of the short series authored by Xiao-Feng Wu that summarizes recent achievements on heterocycle synthesis with transition metals as catalysts, with each volume dedicated to one heterocycle compound.

• Offers a brief, focused review of the active research in pyrimidine synthesis via transition metal catalysis
• Provides useful coverage of pyrimidine properties and both intermolecular and intramolecular cyclization
• Volume Three in Elsevier's short work series, Transition Metal-Catalyzed Heterocycles Synthesis
• Provides greater detail and depth than is currently available in published review articles
