Title: Heterocyclic chemistry
Post by: taurean on October 14, 2008, 11:18:07 AM
I don't have any idea why people always say that molecules containing nitrogen atoms are difficult to synthesize.  Any comments please.

Thanks,

Do you mean on paper difficult?  Or actual labwork difficult?  Right now the question is too vague, which is probably why no one responded...

Sorry, I will be more specific.

I meant the labwork.  I always hear people saying that working on heterocyclic compounds, especially N-containing compounds, is difficult.  People say that everyday is a frustration when working with heterocyclic compounds.  Why such a notion has become popular? Is there any reasoning behind those, discouraging/may be true, statements.

Thanks,

Why no one likes to answer this question?  :-[

Sorry, I wish I had more info, I've never worked with N-heterocycles before.
