Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry

This chapter covers the chemistry of three-membered heterocycles, epoxides, aziridines, azirines, and oxaziridines for the calendar year 2012. For each of the different three-membered heterocycles, a listing of new methods of synthesis and new examples of reactions are presented. This review is not comprehensive for 2012 but covers methods and reactions that should be synthetically useful for the practicing chemist and those interested in the study of three-membered heterocyclic ring systems.
