Transition Metal-Catalyzed Indole Synthesis: Transition Metal-Catalyzed Heterocycle Synthesis series provides an overview of indole, describing the properties of these heterocycle compounds and a guide to traditional synthetic procedures. The book then explores catalyzed procedures for indole synthesis in greater detail and depth than is currently available in published review articles.

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

• Brief, focused review of the active research on Indole and its synthesis via transition metal catalysis
• Useful coverage of Indole properties and both intermolecular and intramolecular cyclization
• Volume Five in Elsevier's short work series, Transition Metal-Catalyzed Heterocycles Synthesis
