Heterocyclics
Ring compounds with elements other than carbon in the ring. The most common elements to appear in heterocyclic compounds are oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. The aliphatic heterocycles are similar to the open chain analogues, ethers, amines and sulfides. The aromatic heterocycles are similar to other aromatic compounds.
